Barrack Point Boardwalk

Barrack Point Boardwalk is a dog walk in Barrack Point, NSW, where the route offers views of the coastline, Windang Island, and the Steelworks to the north, and Shellharbour and the escarpment to the south, with exercise stations, picnic tables, and public toilets available near Little Lake.

The walk

Underfoot it is shared path (bike track) and some sections passing houses.

Lead rules

Shellharbour City Council 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 Barrack Point for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.

Worth knowing

The Barrack Point suburb guide lists what else is around for the dog. Little Lake Foreshore Walk is the other local walk worth comparing.
