What people say
Quite amazing but definitely bring proper shoes and be expected to deal with some narrow passes and steep stairs. The place of wind itself is hauntingly beautiful
A unique mini hike 2.8km return from the Crosslands carpark. Went there on an extreme humid day so wasn’t as enjoyable. Plus too many mosquitoes so please bring a repellent if you go. Good views. Wheelchair accessible up to the first view point.
This is a beautiful walk beside Berowra Creek. Leave from Crosslands and walk 1.5 km toward Berowra station. It is a relatively easy walk with a few short climbs and steep descents down rough stairs. There is lots of views of the Creek from the path amd some pretty seats and rocks you can stop at. The track is an out and back walk, on a hot day with a decent tide there are some spots you could swim of rocks. Once you have left the Crosslands end there are no facilities or water for 6-7 km or more, depending upon your destination. The walk has interesting facts posted along the way. We saw lots of different fungi, birds and a large goanna. There is a pretty bridge and the Salt Marsh boardwalk is another world. Take your time and look at all the microworlds in rock crevices and down by the creek.
Short trip for outdoor activities and recreation. 30mins on way trip and it's a part of the Great North Walk.
This out and back trail takes around 30 minutes to complete and provides information and background on the local birds, wildlife and plants / trees found in Crosslands Reserve. The first couple of hundred metres are wheelchair friendly but after that it’s more of a scramble up and down a rocky track - it would be fine for kids. No water on the trail, carry it with you.
