What to do and see at Marramarra National Park?

What hikes are there at Marramarra National Park?
Marramarra National Park doesn’t have as many hiking trails as other NSW national parks, but the trails you’ll find here are more than enough to keep you charmed.
The Marramarra Ridge to Smugglers Ridge walking track takes you on a loop walk through colourful wilderness with sights out over the treetops accompanying you. The walk can be tricky for anyone not experienced with bushwalking or hiking, so make sure you come prepared. You’ll spend half a day on the trail (up to 6 hours) so bring a packed lunch and make a picnic at one of the rest stops along the way.
If that isn’t enough to satisfy you, the
Canoelands Ridge walking track will give you an entire day in the great outdoors. The Canoelands Ridge walking track is another track that you’ll want to be prepared for, with a few spots along the path that might be harder for less experienced hikers to clear. Once you do clear them, though, you’ll be treated to views over the treetops and river lands as the sun warms the rocks beneath you. Settle down for lunch before continuing on your journey. The total time this walk will take can be up to 10 hours.
For anyone who wants to stretch their legs on a hike through nature, take in some of the most breathtaking sights in the nation, or just relax on soft, green grass, NSW’s National Parks are a must-do weekend activity for locals or travellers visiting Sydney.
