This is another lovely family friendly walk. If you start at the carpark at The Rowing Club you will see the bridge that takes you onto the track along the lakefront. It is a there and back track so go as far as you like and it does carry on to the Millenium Track to Glendu Bay if you want a good challenging bike ride. There is also another great playground just beside the Rowing Club you will see.
