A beautiful cool place to walk and sit with my old Border Collie Nymeria.
Nice little walk by the water, some lovely shady spots. Visit on different tides and get a different view . Love it.
Beautiful walk that links up nicely with the v wall along the water. Crystal clear water you can spot lots of fish. Great spot for kayaking, stand up paddle boarding and snorkeling.
Could do with better signage on the tracks.
Phenomenal! It was absolutely beautiful and gorgeous to see the canyon and mountains. We also visited Twin Falls which is half an hour hike away. Beginner-friendly hike as lots of children could also do this route. Now 1 thing I was a little fussy is the heat, and the bugs. We sprayed ourselves before coming and when we walked off the cars, but the bees and flies seem to really love us till the point they’re just start annoying us. Other than that, it’s so beautiful and gorgeous! Highly recommend!!!
Such a peaceful place doesn’t get very busy during the week.
It is a short but very beautiful walk. When the weather is good it's hard to resist going into the crystal clear shallow waters.
Good place to relax and enjoy the ocean breeze. Nice and quite, seats along with path so you can sit and enjoy the birds go by. The path is good for all ages and wheelchair and prams. But no lights along the path. There some good swimming spots along the way. Dog friendly as well. The path is a easy walk. Highly recommend going to have a look 😊😊.
Great nature reserve. We love to walk in the morning
Great views both north to Diggers beach and south to Park Beach and beyond. See the occasional wallaby.
Beautiful little swimming spot and walking trail throughout beautiful palms and greenery.
Beautifully scenic here.
Along the way there's also a little free lending library.
Bonus.
If you like to geocache there are a few of them along the way too.

Great walk along the coast with plenty of views and beaches to pass through. If you are lucky you can get some whale watching in too along the walk.
We did the Warrie Circuit, it was good fun.
The warning signs are a bit over the top. It joins up with the smaller walk which you see the main waterfalls, it all is a fairly easy and straight forward walk.
You see the lookouts on the smaller walk, there is no need to do the big one unless you want to do it for the challenge.
I did not find it that challenging, there are some rocks to climb over, roots from trees and waterfalls. The walk goes down, across and then uphill. I didn't find it that challenging, the uphill is very gradual, it is like a snake shape, like you are walking loops which is very normal for most uphill hikes. If you stop for lunch and take pictures I'd say it takes around five hours.
You get to walk under a few waterfalls which is fun and very refreshing!

Spent a while along this track, not too long to walk full length and an easy walk, but I stopped and had lunch. Lots of seats along the way with views and a couple of picnic tables in nice spots. Track was pretty clean when I went through. There were dog walkers, runners and a couple of people on push bikes. Everyone was very friendly. Saw water station for dogs and people. I parked at the local pub and the stairs leading down on track are just behind it. You can park along there on the flat if you need to avoid the stairs, just goggle track and you will find a flat spot with parking. Was very nice and I loved the forest part opening up to the beach and coast. Will be visiting again
Great ride
Great view! The lookout is just few steps from the car park. Beware that there are not many car parking spots there.
Nice lookout with beautiful views, we went right after sunrise and had it all to ourselves. You can either do it as part of the 4km Twin Falls circuit walk or if you just want to enjoy the views you can park right next to the Canyon Lookout.
It was such a lovely, easy walk along the river. We saw so many fish in the river. We even saw a kingfisher.
A lovely walk first thing in the morning or in the afternoon.
Highly recommend!!

It was a good trekking place to go, not very hard, but should wear proper shoes as it may a little bit slippery after rain.
I honestly don't know what to say, we went out to Jack Gordon Pathway to take some Pregnancy photos, but the shoreline was covered by broken sharp glasses.
Such an amazing place but it is covered by beer bottles and broken beer bottles.

Beautiful sceneries along the Coastal trail! Suitable for family !
If you just want to see the view from the lookout, it is pretty easy. You just walk pass the entrance and there is it. If you want something more challenging and perhaps even more. There are 2 trails from the canyon lookout. One is twin falls circuit which I highly recommended. Will take around an hour single way. And the other one is warrie circuit which will be a 14km long. It is estimated to take about 6 hours for the trails.
I have seen 2 snakes during my walk but they just minding their own business so you will be fine as long as you don't disturb them.
The twin falls is marvelous and the water is freezing cold. It is mid of April but I still see people swimming there though. So feel free to swim if cold never bothers you
Overall it is one of the must visit place in Springbrook national park

Its the access to the Mulligans Flat nature and wildlfe reserve.
I thought the old original board walk was longer than the new one but I could be wrong. It’s quite short but still beautiful. Connects from Anzac park and you can keep going all the way around to the V wall
Great easy walk along the river and accross the board walks. Saw Dolphins, fish feeding and then continued on to the rock wall. Loved it.
Beautiful look out even on a cloudy day! It’s well worth the trek! We drove to this look out rather than walk from the twin falls circuit, there is disabled parking and easily accessible. The cliffs are stunning and the greenery is just wow! This place is fabulous! I’ve lived on the Gold Coast 5 years and haven’t been now I have I will be taking all my guests up here for the views!
Right next to the road, so great for those who can't/don't want to hike. Gives a great perspective of the areas, can see multiple waterfalls and Gold Coast skyline. The Twin Falls Circuit passed through this lookout so could also be a good start/end spot if you're keen on hiking also.
Went at 6am, only saw two people on the circuit. At the tike of leaving a couple hours later the car park was full. It pays to be early, but I don't see why one wouldn't enjoy it in nature lover company.
The twin Falls circuit is a MUST DO. Every turn seemed to greet us with a lovely surprise. Waterfalls, rock crevices and wildlife if you're lucky. We spotted a blue tongue lizard, some birds and a snake who had past, but the largest I'd ever seen. I'm not sure if I should add that, but I'm going to, because this skeleton amazed me. So as not to frighten though. Last time I went there I'd also seen a snake and walked past it with no troubles. It was minding its own slithery business. This place is magical. Nature at its finest and it's close to the city for quite the adventure. Please enjoy

So much history .. so many stories not told.. helpful hint.... when water is flowing .. throw some sand into the water as a sign of respect and introduce yourself and thanks for allowing your family to enjoy this area...
Simply stunning views
Quiet and beautiful walk trails. Could do some running if you're game.
Really nice for contemplative walks and meditation.
Dog, wheelchair, bike friendly, nice short walk along the coast line, water for both people and dogs along the walk.
I Highly recommend adding this nice little 2km onto the Purling Brook Falls circuit!
Pristine sunsets, birdlife, wallabies, quiet coves, beaches for surfing and swimming 🙏👍 littered with coastal banksia
Bunch of different trails for different skill levels, the class 4 isn't too challenging to be honest but great day out either way.
A very pleasant find while taking a rest stop from driving.
Its a raised walkway supported on pylons above the water of the Nambucca River the goes from the east side to the west side of a point of land above the Nambucca RSL.
I started from the boat ramp in the east side to get closer to a yacht moored in the river.
It has a wooden non-slip deck and is very wide to accommodate a large number of people.
I was there late in the afternoon at dusk and it was very popular with the locals getting a walk or a jog in.
Very well constructed and maintained, recommend you take the time to experience if ever in the area.

Moderate but scenic walk, it is a bit short though.
Great pool & creek. It's not steep to get there
Great place to go on an adventure and go out and about exploring, sorry for the lack of quality photos below were taken on my old phone only an iPhone X, will update with newer ones in time.
The Heritage Trail is a nice place to ride, Hike, stroll or have a picnic. Great for an outing. This time of the year the waterfalls are bursting.
This forest has been through a bush fire last year, lots of marker have disappeared on the trees, making it hard to find directions. Plus the environment is a bit dull with only trees, no viewpoint or rock formations. Good to breath fresh air, that s it...
Nice walking track
Good
Beautiful trail. Please map trail before hand so you don't take the wrong trail. Great blooms
Nice for a walk however the tracker isnt clear so easily lost..but not hard to find the way out using phone gps
Wonderful area to explore specially this time of the year with the splendid colourful native plants and vegetation.
Fantastic trails on the scarp, minutes from the city. Zip Zag trail is always a treat- particularly in wildflower season
Always good
Have done the full 40 km loop a good number of times.
For riders: really nice scenery of Jahn Forest National Park and the suburbs past that point.
For hikers: nice walk and camping areas along the way inside the JFNP.

I really enjoy eating a cooked chicken here
Great peaceful walk or ride. Really good gravel bike training loop
This is my favourite walk in Coffs Harbour! No other place i have found allows you to fully appreciate the majesty of the North Coast and Pacific Ocean in a mere half hour walk. Lots of black cockatoos here of a morning and wallabies on the walking trail every now and then which is very cool to see! Every person you pass greets you with a smile. And it is the best place to view the sunrise from the cliffs!
Ridden quite a few times great fun and good break to be had at Lake Leschenaultia
Approx 10 km long, a bit boring.
Great place for a hike or bike ride
Nice trail mostly among tall trees. Lots of wildflowers around this time of the year. Shame about some people dropping rubbish (old sofa, microwave...). There are some trails markers in place but not consistently so one has to be careful not to take the wrong track.
Lovely place for a morning family walk.
When the tide has gone out there’s Little Rock pools where you can find little sea creatures and explore for hours.

Went for a nice run here. Saw lots of wildlife.
My wife loved it here. She’d never seen Kangaroos before and was stopping every 5 minutes to take photos.
My Dad walks the trail here 1-2 a week. He loves that it’s right on his doorstep.

Lots of ups and downs. Literally. Some sections have loose gravel/ rocks. May not be for everyone. Also some paths not very well sign posted. So can go past where you want to turn.
Great place for walking the dog enjoys it also
Beautiful walk that goes in forever if you're that keen! Even on an overcast and cloudy day it was gorgeous.
The walk is flat and paved, so offers v little challenge, if any, to those not fit. Not sure about disability access though, as getting to the walk appears to be from the beach.
