Macquarie Rivulet Path

Macquarie Rivulet Path is a dog walk in Albion Park Rail, NSW, where the route winds through council reserve with open grass, gum trees, bottlebrush or grevillea, and picnic tables, with ambient noise levels varying depending on suburb activity and traffic.

The walk

Underfoot it is asphalt or concrete perimeter path with open grass lawn.

Lead rules

Shellharbour City Council manages the route. This is a lead-on route: the leash stays on from the car park to the exit, with council signage the only exception if a section is ever re-signed.

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 Albion Park Rail for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.

Worth knowing

The Albion Park Rail suburb guide lists what else is around for the dog. Koonawarra Bay Foreshore Path is the other local walk worth comparing.
