Lane Cove Riverside Hike

🥾 Join Us for this Beautiful Riverside Experience

We’re heading to Lane Cove National Park for a peaceful 10.6km loop hike that follows the river through tranquil bushland. This scenic trail offers everything from shady eucalypt forest and sandstone outcrops to birdsong and glimpses of the Lane Cove River. It’s a great hike if you want a longer trail without needing to head too far from Sydney. We’ll hike at a steady, chat-friendly pace with breaks to catch our breath, enjoy the views and share a cuppa at the halfway point.
