Hike Summary
An enjoyable walk through lower sections of the Lane Cove National Park this walk features plenty of mangroves next to the Lane Cove River particularly in the section between Boronia Av and Buffalo Creek Reserve. Sugarloaf Point is well worth going the 200m for as its a good spot for a rest (or lunch) with views of the river. The walk has a number of contrasts where you think you are a long way from the city with the occasional stark reminder.
