Ridge Walking Track

The Ridge Walking Track at Picnic Point is a short yet scenic walk that showcases some of the best views of the river and foliage.

It is an easy walk and suitable for all levels of fitness. The walk passes along the river and the ridge, giving visitors the chance to see interesting rock formations, scenic views of the river through the foliage, and great examples of mosses and fungi lining the path that are sure to impress every keen naturalist. Starting from the Burrawang Reach picnic area, this short walk finishes at Cattle Duffers Flat picnic area, where visitors can stop to refuel before getting back on the track for the return walk. Both picnic areas offer a fantastic opportunity to relax, dine and rest in scenic surroundings. Alternatively, visitors can head back along the trail which follows the riverside edge for a loop walk. The highlight of the loop walk is the opportunity to walk along the river and enjoy the tranquillity of the surroundings. While the walk is available year-round, the best time to visit is during the cooler months of the year when the weather is mild and the tracks are less crowded. The Ridge Walking Track is located in the Picnic Point Reserve, which is a 45-minute drive north of the Sydney CBD. Visitors can use their car to access the park within 1 hour from Sydney, and there is ample parking available for visitors. The Ridge Walking Track at Picnic Point is a highly recommended must-visit for anyone looking to experience the natural beauty of New South Wales.
