Starting from the end of Clissold Rd, North Wahroonga this walk guides you through a lovely valley around the upper reaches of Lovers Jump Creek. A pleasant dog-friendly walk with plenty of wildflowers along the way. A side trail leads up the toilets Samuel King Park about halfway through this walk. Spend some time enjoying the bubble cascades in the creek and the tall forest along the way. Let us begin by acknowledging the Darug people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
