Narrabeen Lagoon Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Narrabeen Lagoon Trail is a scenic multi-use path that loops around Narrabeen Lagoon on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, connecting wetlands, bushland, and lakeside suburbs. The mostly flat, well-maintained track is a mix of sealed cycleways, gravel sections, and timber boardwalks, making it popular for walking, running, and cycling. Along the way, there are several viewpoints, picnic spots, and birdlife, making it an ideal route for both short outings and the full loop.

Narrabeen Lagoon

Highlight • Lake

Narrabeen Lagoon, also known as Narrabeen Lake, is one of the Northern Beaches’ most treasured natural assets. Surrounded by suburban Sydney, it provides a pocket of wilderness where visitors can enjoy bushwalking, kayaking, paddleboarding, cycling, or relaxing by the water. The lagoon is a haven for wildlife, with diverse birdlife and thriving aquatic ecosystems. It’s also a cultural and recreational hub, with playgrounds, boating facilities, and picnic areas, making it a favourite spot for both locals and visitors.

Bilarong Reserve

Highlight • Natural

Bilarong Reserve spans roughly 5.3 hectares of riparian bushland and forms part of a corridor connecting the Deep Creek and Middle Creek reserves. The area is rich in birdlife, with black swans that are often spotted feeding on seagrass in the shallows, while waders and woodland birds thrive in the wetlands and forest edges. The Narrabeen Lagoon Trail passes directly through the reserve, making it a natural stopping point for walkers and cyclists. The playgrounds and picnic areas are great for families, and nature enthusiasts can enjoy birdwatching and quiet moments by the water. As a designated Wildlife Protection Area, dogs must be on lead to protect the reserve's diverse ecosystems.

Very nice walk, no climbing, possible with a wheelchair

A real fitness trail but a lot of hard surface. I suppose the lake is more beautiful to kayak on than to walk around. Still a nice little workout.
