About the Walking Trail

2.5 hour loop, 4.5 km loop

The Wetlands Walk is located on the estuary within the recreation park and provides an insight into the fascinating and complex life of a wetland. The trail offers the opportunity for walking, birdwatching and photography. Along the trail are interpretive signs that provide information about the flora and fauna of the area.

Start at the carpark on River Road near Gate 12, also near the boardwalk.

The trail is accessible for families with strollers, small children and for those with mobility aids, including wheelchairs. The path is a mixture of boardwalk, and some gravel paths. Some people using wheelchairs may require assistance. A blog post by Push Adven­tures pro­vides some good infor­ma­tion on the Wet­lands Loop. Note that the blog posts iden­ti­fies some of the issues for wheel­chairs access­ing this walk­ing trail, includ­ing a short grassed sec­tion between the pic­nic shel­ter and the start of the trail, and that the grav­el paths may be mud­dy in win­ter. Note that there is a now a ded­i­cat­ed access path from the car park to the trail.
