Wilsons Walking Track

Wilsons Walking Track is a short suburban walking trail in Girards Hill, Lismore, just a few minutes from the city centre. It is a quiet, low-key local spot with only a handful of reviews, so do not expect facilities or crowds. The defining feature is the gravel surface with steep sections, which decides whether it suits you and your dog.

The walk. A gravel road with confirmed steep parts. It is a short suburban route rather than a long-distance hike. Unsealed gravel can become slick or muddy after rain, so pick a dry day if you prefer surer footing.

Leash status. No designated off-leash signage is confirmed for this track. Under the NSW default, dogs should remain leashed in public places unless signposted otherwise.

Getting there. The track sits within a residential area. Limited street parking is available in the surrounding streets, though exact parking specifics are not confirmed.

Nearby with the dogs. For a coffee afterwards, try The Bank Cafe & Espresso or Dark Horse Espresso. If your dog wants a run off-lead after the walk, the Dog Off Leash Exercise Area - Elizabeth Gardens is a short drive away.

When to go. Go during daylight hours on a dry day for the best footing on the gravel surface. Good for fit, steady dogs who handle inclines without trouble.
