A great walk through iconic Australian bushland in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, America Bay walking track is a lovely spot for a remote picnic and you won’t believe you’re only an hour from
Sydney city. The track follows a
sandstone ridgeline from West Head Road down to America Bay, near the mouth of the Hawkesbury River. This is a very short easy walk of just 1.8km, and easy grade 3 with a suggested time of 1-2 hours. Not far from the beginning of this moderate track, a short detour reveals some fascinating Aboriginal
rock engravings on a
sandstone shelf. Back on the main track, you’ll descend gradually though
woodlands of scribbly gum and bloodwood to a tinkling creek. Follow the stream to a
rock platform overlooking scenic America Bay with
views across Cowan Water. Here, a small picturesque waterfall
cascades over the escarpment. Roll out the picnic blanket in your own private bushland setting.
