Jewfish walk is a 600m, grade 2 hike located in Nadgee Nature Reserve, New South Wales. The hike should take around 30 minutes to complete.
Hike overview
Follow the boardwalk that meanders through the tall forest and, before long, Jewfish walk arrives at the beach on the edge of Wonboyn Lake. Once you're there, you'll be cooled by the peaceful atmosphere. With its calm water, this is the perfect place for young kids to paddle in the shallows. Keen fishermen will catch tailor, flathead and, of course, the occasional jewfish here.
In spring, the air is filled with the sweet perfume of the swamp paperbark's blossom. Summer brings the cream flowers of the rough-barked apple and, with them, the honeyeaters and parrots that come to feed.
