Lane Cove National Park - Sydney
The Lane Cove National Park is a protected national park that is located within metropolitan Sydney, in New South Wales, Australia. The 372-hectare (920-acre) national park is situated about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) north-west of the Sydney central business district. The park consists of land near the banks of the Lane Cove River, which flows generally south-east into Sydney Harbour. It also extends to the outskirts of Pennant Hills and Wahroonga.
The park includes areas of land which are part of Ku-ring-gai, Ryde, and Hornsby local government areas with small areas of the park in Willoughby, Lane Cove and Hunter's Hill local government areas on the banks of the lower reaches of the river. The park is surrounded on all sides by developed suburban areas and except for the upper northwestern region is never more than a kilometre wide. Much of the park is of fairly rugged terrain on the slopes of the river valley and covered by dense bush. The characteristics of the bush vary depending upon soils and topography. Parts of the park are affected by weed infestations.
The central section of the park, between De Burghs Bridge on Ryde Road and Fullers Bridge, was set aside as a park in the 1920s and developed with picnic areas interspersed in the bush along the banks of the river. The majority of these picnic areas are located between the Fuller's Road bridge and the road that leads towards the Tourist Park. North of this point the area becomes more rugged and there are no picnic areas until the Tunks Hill (previously known as Tunks Farm) area which is away from the river behind the garden nursery on Lane Cove Road.
A weir was constructed in the 1930s near Fullers Bridge which converted the middle section of the river from tidal salt-water to a fresh-water area with constant water level suitable for recreational use in rowing boats and canoes. This area was managed by a trust and was called Lane Cove River Park. In 1982, the Government of New South Wales took over direct control of the park which was then called Lane Cove Regional Park. Various nearby areas of undeveloped government land near the river upstream and downstream from the central area including an area around Pennant Hills Park has also been added to the national park. It was then renamed Lane Cove National Park in 1992.
A fish ladder has been constructed next to the weir to enable Australian bass to access the freshwater breeding grounds upstream of the weir. Fishing is allowed in parts of the Lane Cove River as per restrictions managed by NSW Department of Primary Industries.[2]
The Lane Cove National Park is popular with walkers, joggers and cyclists. The Lane Cove River Tourist Park, operated by the NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service, is located within Lane Cove National Park.
The main walking track along the Lane Cove River forms part of the Great North Walk from Sydney CBD to Newcastle. This track incorporates a number of old tracks that were, in many cases, old logging trails.
A rare mushroom Hygrocybe aurantipes was discovered in Lane Cove National Park in 1990.
Roseville to Macquarie Park Walk via Lane Cove National Park
This 9km bush walk starts at Roseville railway station on Sydney's North Shore and works its way into Lane Cove National Park following the river to De Burghs Bridge and along Ryde Road to Macquarie Park railway station.
This is another fine example of how lucky Sydneysiders are in having this beautiful national park right in the suburbs.
The wildwalks.com track notes for this walk are very detailed and make navigation easy.

ADVENTURE: Lane Cove National Park | JeannyTV
12th January, 2016.
We spent several hours hiking up and down one of 3 trails at Lane Cove National Park walking through rocks and muddy pathways, only to find out that Fiddens Wharf no longer exists!
Afterwards, we spend the next 2 hours canoeing alongside the river that splits the park in half. It was my first time ever canoeing and i found it very relaxing :)
It was a hot Summer's day but the tall trees provided us with shade, but don't worry! We sure had sun protection on. Better to be safe than sorry!!

Checking out a local day walk right in the middle of Sydney!
The walk is about a 11km loop up to the A3 and back to the carpark off Lady Game Drive. Take water and good shoes, and expect to spend a few hours on it. Most of it is flat but it definitely gets a bit rough in places.
