Urunga Wetlands Boardwalk

Located in the charming town of Urunga, the Urunga Wetlands Boardwalk is a popular travel destination in Australia.

The boardwalk, approximately 1 km long, is the perfect way to take in the stunning coastal scenery while enjoying a refreshing leisurely stroll. Visitors are taken along the edge of the Kalang/Bellinger Rivers, offering fine views along its entire length, and culminates with a breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean. The boardwalk is a picturesque walk that passes along the banks of the Kalang River to the junction with the Bellinger River and out to the ocean, with stunning views inland past Urunga town and up the river valleys to the Great Dividing Range, north across the rivers to Mylestom Spit. This walk is an excellent opportunity to experience the natural beauty of the region.

The Urunga Wetlands Boardwalk leads visitors to the leash-free pet-friendly beach area to the south of the river mouth. This feature is a perfect way for families to bond and enjoy the outdoors with their furry friends. Visitors to Urunga Wetlands Boardwalk can also explore the expansive wetland habitat which has undergone extensive remediation and parkland work costing $10 million. The area has been transformed from a once barren wasteland to a lively wetland habitat with a significant improvement to the water quality and a recovery of the ecosystem. The site features a 150-metre boardwalk allowing visitors to explore over the wetlands and the 450-meter walking trail surrounding the park. During this time, the weather is mild, and there is less rainfall, making it easier to explore the boardwalk and
