Be the first to share a photo of this spot.

Harold Reid Foreshore Track is an on-leash bushland walk along the Castlecrag foreshore, with water views and creek access along the way. The track is around three kilometres with a few stairs, making it more of a proper walk than a quick park stop. Free parking at the start makes it easy to turn into a longer outing towards Sugarloaf Bay.

Great location for an easy flat walk for a few hours. Swimming also possible in the creek. Dog friendly and easy free parking. Beautiful area.

Beautiful, easy little track. Just under 3km or 4,000 steps. If you're up for a longer walk, just keep going along the North Arm Walk to Sugarloaf Bay. Dogs are allowed on this trail but should be leashed. There are quite a few birds. Mostly the common ones, Superb Fairy Wrens, Magpies etc.. There is a picnic area in the reserve if you want to make a morning of it. The only mildly challenging part is the little climb up at the end. Enjoy. 😉

Great walk to do with dogs and kids. A few passages of stairs, but our small dog and friends with a baby didn’t have too much trouble. Dogs are supposed to be on-lead but there are plenty that aren’t. Beautiful views along the track, especially by the water. Pack some water and mozzie repellant - the walk took us about an hour and we didn’t rush. Easy parking on Rembrandt Drive. Signs can be a little confusing; but they’re helpful to point you in the right direction.

Fantastic walk with some amazing views particularly once you get to the foreshore. Reasonably steep in some sections but overall a very nice walk that's still in metro Sydney.

This trail is an easy walk, taking about an hour. The views along the harbour are beautiful.
