Great River Walk

Penrith is working with Blue Mountains tourism to incorporate its natural, heritage and outdoor experiences into the new Greater Blue Mountains Drive, an exciting new touring journey that links a vast and spectacular world heritage landscape to the regions that surround it, including Penrith Valley.

A new Penrith experience that is to be incorporated into the Blue Mountains Heritage Drive, the Great River Walk will eventually provide walking and cycling facilities along the entire Nepean Hawkesbury River system from the Southern Highlands to Brooklyn. The first stages will link the Windsor and Richmond area with Penrith and already most of the section linking the Nepean River at Penrith with Penrith Lakes has been completed. This links with the existing loop path around both sides of the river in Penrith and Emu Plains utilising the bridges on the M4 and the Great Western Highway.
