Hike overview

The Clarence Foreshore Trail is a multi-user pathway following the shores of the Derwent River. It offers a diverse range of scenery, from picturesque bays filled with moored yachts to she-oak forest and parkland. There are playgrounds, beaches and points of interest along the trail. The quality of the path varies from wide concrete to narrow gravel sections.

Safety

Several sections are narrow and have a lower quality surface including the track along the foreshore at Geilston Bay (an alternative is to use Musgrove Ave and Derwent Ave to bypass this section, although the hill is steep). Rosny Hill has a steep section around the sewerage works.
