Brooklyn Dam Bushwalk

All guided bushwalks are for Hornsby Shire residents only.

This 7 km (3.5hr) moderately challenging to challenging bushwalk explores the surprising cultural history and spectacular natural heritage surrounding the town of Brooklyn on the Hawkesbury River.

After visiting the scenic Flat Rock Point and Parsley Bay, ascend the steep slopes of the ridge behind Brooklyn to witness the breathtaking views of the Hawkesbury River and Ku-Ring-Gai Chase National Park. Follow a section of the Great North Walk through stunning sandstone woodland communities, to the peaceful and picturesque Brooklyn Dam. Initially constructed in 1884, can you guess the dam’s purpose?
