Overview

The Great River Walk at Penrith has beautiful views of the Nepean River and Blue Mountains. The walk winds northward from Penrith Weir to Cassola Place

is approximately a two kilometre return walk, and can be added to the seven kilometres of existing Bridge to Bridge Loop Walk.

The Great River Walk follows the Hawkesbury-Nepean River from its source near Goulburn to its mouth at Broken Bay. The section of walk at Penrith

includes a pedestrian and cycle path, a boardwalk and a bridge, which traverse an otherwise inaccessible area. This walk enables visitors to experience the

Nepean's beauty from a new vantage point. Families can come down to the river, have a picnic and enjoy a fantastic walk.

Toilets, parking, picnic tables, large shady trees and maintained grassed areas at Weir Reserve on Bruce Neale Drive, Tench Reserve on Tench Avenue

Penrith, and Regatta Park on River Road, Emu Plains. Tench Reserve and Regatta Park also have barbecues and playground areas.
