About the Crosslands Trail

Explore the stunning bushland that runs along the Berowra Creek foreshore with the Crosslands Trail, an easy-to-access walk that features gorgeous views and rare tree species. Begin at Crosslands Reserve, which has picnic facilities, play equipment and bicycle tracks, then travel along through mangroves for picturesque views. For those who want a more challenging trip, continue on to Calna Creek for the second half of the track, which is well worth the effort.
