Accessible from both Berowra and Cowan Stations this walk explores the ridges and valleys around Berowra Waters and the Berowra River Area. It has excellent views, especially at Naa Badu Lookout.

This delightful loop is one of the prettiest and most popular walks in the Hornsby area. Going from an environment of ferns and clear bushland to dry sandstone bush near Berowra Creek, this walk has a good complement of environments. The sidetrip out to Joes Mountain doesn't have the most fantastic views but is still a nice walk.

Following a section of the Great North Walk along parts of Berowra Creek, this is a good walk for those looking for a variety of environments while close to a major urban centre. The track through the ferns west of Hornsby is beautiful and the track south of Galston Gorge is steep with nice views (watch your step). The service trail to Tunks Ridge Reserve is not very exciting.

Beginning and ending on the ridge above Berowra Creek this walk descends steeply down to the creek before rising once again. There are great views looking down from the ridge and over the Creek. The section between Mt Ku-ring-gai and the Calana Creek Int is extremely good and Naa Badu Lookout is well worth the small sidetrip.

From the ridge above Berowra Creek this track goes steeply down into the valley following Calna Creek. The narrow bushtrail section is quite beautiful with plenty of small creek crossings and sandstone overhangs. The grasslands section just before coming to the junction of Calna and Berowra Creeks is also very pretty.

Ridge tops, grasslands, creek crossings and spectacular views are all part of this walk as it ventures from the ridge above Berowra Creek down to water level and back up again. Take the short and free ferry ride across the creek to get lunch at Berowra Waters. Also conserve your energy for the steep sections between Berowra Waters and Cowan.

Following the Great North Walk and Berowra Creek through Berowra Valley Regional Park this track cuts straight through the length of the Park. Although long, the sites on it are very good, providing a broad idea of what this park has to offer. Conserve your energy for the section between Berowra Waters and Cowan as there are several hills, to end a solid day of walking.

This track largely follows the ridgetop above Berowra Creek on bushtracks and servicetrails. The section just before Tunks Ridge Reserve is rather plain with a few views. The Baily Bridge is quite an interesting landmark of the area, as is Fishponds and a number of water holes along the way. This walk follows a section of the Great North Walk.

Following the Great North Walk this easily accessible walk is well managed and signposted. Great views of Berowra Creek from up on the side of the hill and down at waterlevel. If you're quiet, you can expect to see water dragons and a variety of other lizards. This is a great walk for those venturing for the first time into Berowra Regional Park.
