Group B - Hiking & Long Distance Trails (Bushwalks and/or longer trails)
Unsealed paths in Maidens Reserve have moderately steep sections. Mostly crushed limestone with some soft sand. Loose rocks, gravel and plant debris may pose a slipping or tripping hazard.
Be aware Maidens Reserve is a snake risk area. Snakes occur in this area and are an important part of our natural environment. Please stay on the paths. If you see a snake, remain clam. Avoid disturbing it and let it move away at its own pace.
Be smart and wear comfortable, sturdy shoes and sun protection. Avoid walking on hot days and take plenty of drinking water.
Stay on the path and help prevent dune erosion and the spread of Phytophthora dieback, a disease that kills our native plants.Â
Please pick up after your dog and keep them on a leash at all times to protect the wildlife and your pet.
Nearest toilets are located at the Maidens Reserve Playground, along with all other facilities.Â
