A selection of some of the best walking tracks, lookouts, waterfalls and sights in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park.
Established in 1894, Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park is Australia’s second oldest national park, 15 years younger than Sydney’s Royal National Park.
Located only 25km north of the Sydney CBD, Ku-ring-gai Chase is a popular weekend recreation destination for Sydney residents as well as for tourists.
The relatively undiscovered Cowan to Jerusalem Bay walking track guides hikers through calm bushland, ending up at a picturesque bay that is perfect for a swim and a quiet picnic.
It’s an easy, but at times very steep, 2.4km trail down to the bay where you can enjoy great views overlooking Cowan Creek.
Bobbin Head is a popular family day-trip destination situated on Cowan Creek in the western section of Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park.
Surrounded by beautiful scenery, the area boasts excellent facilities such as picnic areas, gas barbecues and playgrounds. With a great variety of hiking trails, Bobbin Head is also the perfect spot for bush walking.
