What people say
Lovely walk through the Lane Cove National Park. Large areas of weed free native bush community. Also bonus mangrove wetland with nice wooden board walks.
It was a nice healing walk😌.. the entrance is almost hidden 😂 (not really). air was so clean, walk was easy. Went there with bf - said he came here a long time ago on a school excursion. Recommend this place to go with parents / a date.
Nice and short walk if you park the car on the side of the road just at the entrance. Some views and access to the river.
Nice track that connects with some parks and is part of the lane cove national park great north walk. I would say it is medium difficulty as there are some uneven surfaces. Seems to be a popular cycling spot too so keep an eye out for mountain bikers approaching especially in the narrower parts of the track as they can go quite fast.
