Wildflower Walk

Wildflower Walk is a short and easy walking trail located in Manly Vale's Manly Dam area.

It is a great option for introducing younger children to bushwalking, as it is only 350 meters each way. The trail is not looped, so visitors will need to backtrack and return the same way they came in. It takes about 30 minutes to complete, making it ideal for families with young children.

The main attraction of Wildflower Walk is its extraordinary array of native wildflowers, providing a scenic experience. As you walk leisurely, you can observe the stunning flora and fauna in the area. Birdwatching is also popular along the trail, making it a perfect spot for nature lovers.

The best time to visit Wildflower Walk is during the spring and summer months (September to February) when the wildflowers are in bloom. The weather is also warmer during this time, making it more comfortable for visitors to enjoy the walk. It is advisable to avoid visiting during the rainy season, as the trail can become muddy and challenging to navigate.

To get to Wildflower Walk, visitors can either drive or take public transportation. If driving, there is a parking lot at the entrance to the Manly Dam area. For those using public transportation, a bus can be taken to the Manly Dam area, and then it is a short walk to the trailhead.
