Hike overview

This walk takes you along one of the most popular and accessible stretches of shoreline at Googong. It runs close to the high water mark between the Foreshores car park and Shannons Inlet. On still days you may see trout and Golden Perch swimming along the bank in search of food, or find waterbirds roosting and sunning themselves. The walk can be extended by returning via the Western Foreshores Walk.
