A partly off-track bushwalk in Marramarra National Park, which initially follows the Duckponds Ridge Trail (a firetrail). The last bit down to The Duckpond, a deep pool on Marramarra Creek, has no track.
Peebles Trail is a firetrail just outside Marramarra National Park suitable for bushwalking, mountain-biking and horse-riding. It’s a pleasant but not particularly interesting trail.
A fairly long out-and-back bushwalk to Coba Point, at the end of Coba Ridge. Some filtered views over Berowra Creek along the trail and at the end.
A relatively short and easy ranger-guided bushwalk at Muogamarra, the Bird Gully Walk descends into a valley where it crosses Muogamarra Creek. You’ll see wildflowers, birdlife and some Aboriginal grinding grooves,
The relatively unknown Wedgewood Fire Trail in Cowan ends at a large rock platform, which offers filtered bush views. It’s not the most exciting trail, but offers some great wildflower displays in Spring.
An exploratory walk out along Shark Rock Ridge to Want Trig, with some stunning views over Cowan Creek. There is a rough trail all the way along the ridge, although some navigation skills and a topo map are essential.
A dog-friendly and family-friendly bushwalk along a firetrail to Calabash Point. At the end of the trail are the fascinating ruins of the Fretus Hotel, built around 1900 and abandoned by 1920.
An easy walk along Coba Ridge via the Neverfail Fire Trail to Collingridge Point, which has nice views over Berowra Creek. A more challenging side-trip visits an Aboriginal rock art site and the Coba trig station.
A somewhat uninspiring but pleasant bushwalk between Gordon and Thornleigh, which is mostly along the Lane Cove Valley Walk (which is part of the Great North Walk).
Sams Creek Loop combines Sams Creek Trail and the Berkeley Fire Trail in Berowra, to create a pleasant bushwalk that avoids the crowds.
