The walk

Underfoot it is asphalt or concrete path, with some natural bushland trails.

Lead rules

local government area (council) parks team manages the route. Leash rules change along the way: some sections are lead-on, others are signed for off-lead play. The signage at each section is the authority, so treat the first visit as a scouting run and let the signs set the pace.

Carry water for the dog: drinking points along walks like this are rarely signed, so plan as if there are none. Early morning and dusk are the comfortable windows in Bardwell Valley for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.
