This lovely loop takes you along the lower and upper eastern portion of the Georges River National Park beside the river where the park gets its name.
This is a lovely and peaceful part of the park with a few motorboats passing by, but it is a fairly isolated and quiet area along the river that's also great for spotting birdlife.

Trail reviews for Georges River National Park
Great bush walk with some lovely views of the Georges River. Suggest park at Fitzpatrick park for free. Afternoon is less busy. The track itself is single file. A few different pathways are trodden but all lead the same way.. the path up/ down to cattle duffers and burrawang Reach are steep for anyone not strong.
Beautiful nature. Downside is being close to houses and loud jet-skis and speedboats being allowed on Georges River. Other than that, nice moderate difficulty trail, many possible fun detours, low people traffic on a Saturday. Lovely morning hike.
Conditions: Bugs, Wildflowers, Well maintained
