About the Western Foreshores Walk/Ride

The Western Foreshores Walk/Ride is a 19.7 kilometre out-and-back hiking trail in the ACT, rated moderate and taking around 4 hours and 56 minutes to complete based on the estimated duration. The route is noted for its views and includes shelter facilities along the way. Bikes are not permitted, and the track is not suitable for dogs, wheelchairs or strollers, so plan to travel on foot. With its length and moderate grading, the walk suits reasonably fit visitors who want a longer day out, and walkers should carry water, snacks and weather-appropriate gear. The trailhead is conveniently placed near central Canberra, with the Captain Cook Memorial Jet about 1.2 kilometres away, ANZAC Parade around 1.4 kilometres distant and Mount Ainslie roughly 2.9 kilometres from the start. This makes it a practical option for visitors staying in the city centre who want to combine a longer walk with sightseeing. In an emergency, dial Triple Zero (000).
