Gore Cove Reserve - Wollstonecraft (NSW)

5 /5 Oliver Revis: Amazing place to go for a walk hidden away between Berry Island and Wollstonecraft Station. Great fun when its raining. From the Berry Island end of the track you can also continue into the Badangi Reserve.

5 /5 Cordelia: A pocket of peaceful bushland on Sydney’s lower North Shore teeming with birds. I’ve been doing this walk for years and always find something new. Highlights: - a tree that’s grown around a Triumph engine - the sound of whip birds - hidden overgrown staircase that leads to the harbour where you can sit on a rock and watch the cormorants dive - see if you can spot the eels swimming in the creek - the view of the city from the stairs up to Greenwich - catching a glimpse of the male superb fairy wren’s cute little blue face - spotting the resident powerful owl and tawny frog mouth families - the sound of the creek, which is like a cliche babbling brook with water flowing over rocks - chatting to friendly fellow walkers and their dogs. Enter via Russel St to get the full length of the walk. Wear sturdy shoes as it can be slippery in parts. When you reach the end, turn right to go to Berry Island reserve where you’ll find bubblers and public toilets.

5 /5 Karl Chong: This is such a great trail. Its usually pretty quiet and gets a little dark about an hour before sunset, so be careful not to go too late. I like to trail run along this reserve but hiking/walking is also good. I prefer the afternoons as the lighting is gorgeous

5 /5 Mikael Besse: What a great little place to hang out or walk on a nice day in order to get some fresh and cold air :) Discovered this place completely by luck looking on a map and was amazingly surprised by such beauty and calm so close to the city. Highly recommended!

5 /5 Abhi: This trail is a hidden gem as soon as you walk down from Smoothey park it takes you deep into the bush. It’s hard to believe that you are minutes away from the hustle of pacific highway. Good for walking and running with some steep parts. An amazing getaway from the city above and connected with badangi and berry island reserves.
