Grotto Walk
Highlights
- Explore the steep paths leading down 45 metres to the tranquil banks of the Shoalhaven River.
- Savour the stunning views from four lookouts, immersing yourself in the natural beauty of the reserve.
- Enjoy a picnic under the large overhanging rock, known as The Grotto, for a unique dining experience.
- Discover the rich history of the area as you walk through an old farm and orchard from the 1920s.
On the banks of the Shoalhaven River in North, Nowra access from Yurunga Drive is The Grotto. Whilst access to The Grotto is steep in parts, the walk is short and the ambience of the reserve more than makes up for any effort expended. Take a picnic and spend some time watching the beautiful Shoalhaven River, from a superb vantage point.
A large overhanging rock called the Grotto has given its name to this walk. This is a beautiful walk with steep entrances that zigzag down 45 metres from the cliff-tops to the banks of the Shoalhaven River. The walk is a two kilometre loop track taking between one to two hours depending on whether you visit all of the four lookouts at the top of the cliffs.
The walk passes through an old farm and orchard which belonged to John Hanson in the 1920s.
