Hike Summary

The track around the perimeter of the wetlands takes 15-20 minutes to walk. The man-made wetlands were established by Clarence Council to trap and treat stormwater from it's surrounds in Lauderdale. The wetlands consists of a series of channels and bioretention basins which allow water to be filtered by planted native rushes and sedges. The area has been transformed to a vibrant wetland community which hosts a variety of insects, birds, native mammals, fish and other fresh water aquatic biota. The walk connects to the Tangara Trail at the southern end of Roscommon Reserve.
