Description

This is also the Clarence foreshore trail. This trail is fantastic for cycling or walking (dogs included) and is easy with spectacular views. It goes all the way to tranmere and you can go as far as you want and do it in sections. It's an amazing trail. Start from carpark at Debomfords Lane off the East Derwent Highway in Geilston Bay. Cross the bridge over Faggs Creek and walk along the edge of Geilston Creek Road until you reach a map board sign. A well-graded gravel track follows the water before an intersection is reached with the takara limuna / Sheoak Walk. Continue to the right, gently climbing through the open grasslands dotted with occasional eucalypts until the track starts descending towards Shag Bay. Ignore the trails under the transmission lines heading up the hill. There is a short but steep section into Shag Bay at the end. The area is rich in Aboriginal middens as it was one of the shortest crossing distances over the Derwent River. The last part of the walk is located in the East Risdon Nature Reserve and dogs are not permitted. Please obey signs.
