An absolute Gem! This is such a peaceful walk and great exercise coming back up the steps! My 5 year old loves coming here! Highly recommended for kids who love nature. The creek at the bottom is beautiful.
If you're looking for a good nature walk. Try this one. It's not a walk in the park. There are numerous steps down into the gorge and back up. Our fitness watch told us we had climbed 34 floors. The via duct is a stunning structure and its worth taking your camera. A word of advice do not attempt this walk on a hot day or without bottled water.
Great walk, these stairs up are a work out! Dog friendly very pretty good view to Penrith on the bridge.
Starting at the end of Knapsack Street (limited parking) you’ll explore along a small section of the old Lapstone Zig Zag railway, the walk takes you along the old rail line, this section is an easy level walk, passing through sandstone cuttings and the old train station until you reach the end and view to the Knapsack Viaduct (Sandstone Bridge). You can continue on down into the valley, onto the bridge and beyond however there are steep stairs involved. Better signage throughout is needed as there are a few offshoot tracks that don’t indicate clearly where you’ll end up. At the time I went through there were several notices about water quality, only a real concern for dog walkers.
It's a nice place to go for a workout.
This is a nice walk with a bit of history thrown in. Park up at the end of knapsack street then walk down the old cutting. You can still see where they drilled down and put in the dynamite. Then through the old station and down the zig zag stairs to get to the viaduct. The oldest stone bridge in mainland Australia. You can see where they widened the bridge to turn it from a rail bridge into a road bridge. After that, have a nice walk down the path and maybe a picnic under a tree and finally walk back to the car. We did it with 3 small kids in about 2 hours.
Beautiful route for mountain biking to get to knapsack
