Hike Summary
A short walk along the southern hill above Manly Dam with great views and fantastic scenery. One of the few tracks in the Manly Dam area where you won't get run over by bike riders this is a great walk for those looking for something short and peaceful. Look out for black snakes and goannas along the way especially in the McComb Hill area.
