Manly Dam

Manly Dam is such a beautiful, calm, and peaceful place. Perfect if you want to get away from the busy city and enjoy some quiet time in nature. The walking tracks around the dam are well maintained and great for all ages, whether you want a proper walk or just a relaxed stroll. There are plenty of family-friendly areas with playgrounds for kids, picnic tables, and open spaces to sit and enjoy the view. The picnic spots by the water are really nice, especially on a sunny day. It is also a great place for couples, families, or even solo walks if you just want some fresh air and peace of mind. The surroundings are very clean, lots of greenery, and the water views are amazing from different spots around the dam. Parking is easy and there is enough space even on busier days. Overall, it is a great spot for walking, picnics, family outings, or just relaxing and switching off for a while. Highly recommend this place if you are around the Northern Beaches or visiting Sydney.

Loved the place. Variety of walks in one walk. Directions need improvement

A lovely place to hike or mountain bike or picnic close to the city a d just got the Northwest of Manly Beach. It’s like a hidden gem of nature so close to the city center.

Very beautiful and lovely place in the morning. It’s quiet and good for boats and good for picnics

Great fun walk. Did the loop on around 3 hours with friends and thoroughly enjoyed the board walk with pleasant water views. The full moon made it even better for a great evening walk.
