narrabeen lakes

Love Narrabeen Lakes. Went to deep creek had a picnic lunch then fished with my son. He caught a bream and i caught a sand whiting. Use prawns but by Squid as if lasts let on the hook. Great fishing spot.We then ended up around the corner having a swim in the lakes. So warm. Plenty of wildlife. Ducks were so tame they were eating out of our hands.Narrabeen lakes is a must do and see especially when u have kids..

Living right near the lake my husband and I often stroll down from our apartment and dawdle along the pathway. Sometimes rude people on bikes and children on bikes with rude parents can be frustrating but the majority of people have common sense and say thank you and smile when you get out of their way. It can be very peaceful to walk along he path as you often see ducklings and there are always ducks and geese around to watch. Not to mention people walking lots of dogs which is always nice when you can't have one of your own. There are sometimes markets on which are good but can be rather chaotic compared to the usual serenity. Great place for a picnic or to waste some time walking along the lake people/dog/duck watching.

Having walked along the lakes for years it remains a very peaceful and enjoyable place to exercise, good for a bbq or picnic or take the kids to one of several play areas as you go around the lake.Better still a nice spot to teach young children how to fish in a safe environment.On the 3rd Sunday of every month there are the local markets which have grown in size and quality over the years and well worth stopping by.

Narrabeen Lakes are fabulous to just walk around along the easy level paths. Plenty of benches to sit and gaze across the lake on the way. Great for kids to ride bikes or scooters and there's two parks to visit along the way. A couple of great cafés, H2O Cafe and The Boatshed Cafe to grab a takeaway coffee or dine in for breakfast or lunch and take in the view. If you are feeling energetic there is a kayak, paddle boats and stand up paddle board hire shop next to The Boatshed Cafe. There are lots of parking places around the lake as well as BBQ areas and picnic tables. A lovely place to visit all year round.

If you are visiting Sydney's Northern beaches, then make a stop at stunning Narrabeen Lake. It has a fantastic circular walking/bike track which is 9K long & flat. The bush is spectacular with pristine coachwood forest, water dragons, barking owls, kingfishers & many more birds. You will see the mighty sea eagle & the resident ospreys, plus swans & cormorants. On the eastern side of the walk are free BBQ areas, play grounds & many lakeside eateries. Where the lake (actually a lagoon) meets the sea on Narrabeen beach is a wonderful child friendly beach with lots of reef fish.This is a hidden gem and what's more, its free. I would love everyone who visits to help protect this very special place from the developers. Protecting Sydneys natural environment is of such importance for locals & visitors alike. Enjoy.

Large estuary lake leading to the North Narrabeen Beach. Lovely walks and reasonable bird watching. Always something to watch...paddlers, birds, fishing and joggers. We stayed in the caravan park on the shores , a beautiful place to stay in Sydney.

Narrabeen Lakes is a great place to spend time outdoors whatever the season. A great biking/walking trail runs almost all the way around (and the loop is soon to be completed) which gives a varied 10k track.There are picnic spots, playgrounds and cafes as well as several places to rent water equipment. So if you want to fish, kayak, SUP, picnic, play, walk, run or just sit and enjoy some tranquility, there is a spot around the lake to suit.

The trail will be a great addition to the the natural area of the lake, allowing people to walk around the back half of the lake. Great place to see the black swans near deep creek.

The trail (which was slightly unfinished when I visited) presented an amazing view of the lake. This is a great place for running, walking, and biking.

There's a new walk around the lake, almost finished. Peaceful, lots of birds and little animals, picnicareas are provided, too. It's an easy, level walk, so possible for prams/wheelchairs. And there are a few cafes/restaurants right on the lakeside! Paddle boarding/kayaking/fishing is possible (you can hire equipment), and on the other sideyouve got playgrounds. Almost too good to be true :-)

A beautiful lake, probably a surprise for those who don't live locally. A large piece of water, very scenic and lots to do for those who enjoy kayaking or paddling, or bike riding. Good place for locals to enjoy a picnic.

Great place to bike ride - can go up to 14 kms or more - depending how far you would like to go. Lots of places for kayaking or stand up paddling. Lots of picnic grounds too.

It is years since we had been to Narrabeen Lakes, so we made a point of going there over the Christmas holidays. The area had something for all of us: the surf beach at North Narrabeen, safe recreation on the lagoon with canoes for hire at Berry Reserve and stand up paddle boards at Jamieson Park, good parks to relax in and walking tracks to stroll along and a choice of several restaurants on the main road at Narrabeen itself. However by driving along Wakehurst Parkway towards the Sydney Academy of Sport, we found a great spot for a picnic on the western side of the lagoon at Middle Creek Reserve. Warringah Council has provided toilet facilities, shelter sheds, tables and free electric barbecues in this park, set among the casuarina and paper bark trees. The Council has also started work here on a significant extension to the walking track beside the lagoon, with an estimated completion date of December 2014. There were plenty of water birds to be seen on Middle Creek itself and as we looked around us at the tree covered ridges and the extensive lagoon it was hard to believe we were still in a suburban area. We watched local youngsters launch their windsurfer boards off the boat ramp and zip across the water. A magic spot.

Narrabeen! Narrabeen, most beautiful place I have ever seen. On a lovely day the scenic lake is an absolute joy! Ducks, many fish, pelicans and crowds of people enjoying water sports in canoes, on stand up boards and small fishing boats. On shore a wonderful path around the lakes edge with walkers, babies in prams, cyclists all exercising and taking the fresh air. Recreation at its best!

We live nearby and think we are so lucky to have this Lake to fish,sail,swim and picnic at,plus a couple of good restaurants with great views and beautiful walks.There are places to hire canoes,boats,paddleboards and Narrabeen caravan park sits beside the lake and is only metres from the ocean.We are very lucky.
