Little River Walk (Cathedral Range State Park)

Follow the appropriately named Little River through tall messmate forest on this gentle walk. Listen for lyrebirds imitating the sounds of the bush and look for koalas snoozing overhead or feasting on the leaves of Manna Gums.

This is an easy Grade 3 walk of 2.7km which takes around 45 minutes one-way. The walks links Cooks Mill with Neds Gully Camping Area. Stop at Cooks Mill for a picnic or to explore to see remnants of a once-thriving timber mill that produced ships’ masts.

Restrictions: Please note this trail is for walkers only (no bicycles, pets or horses).
