Googong Foreshores NR: Googong Cascades Picnic Area to Bradleys Creek Return - Wed Walk - CBC

The walk to Bradleys Ck is mainly on fire trial, with small sections on bush track. The walk offers some glorious views over Googong Dam and lake. Starting from the Googong Cascades Picnic area (aka Downstream Picnic Area) we initially walk on a bush track, before picking up the Queanbeyan River fire trail which we will follow for the remainder of the morning. Along the way we'll take morning tea at Gorman Trig (our highest point) before descending steeply to Bradleys Ck for lunch. We'll return the same steep way, with the opportunity to take a detour to view the dam and cascades towards the end of the walk.

Please bring sunscreen, hat, water, a warm jacket and wet weather gear. Walking poles may be useful on the steeper sections of the fire trail, which can be loose under foot.

If you have not driven here before, please check the ACT Parks brochure.
