Accessible Stroll In Jerrabomberra Wetlands Nature ReserveJerrabomberra Wetlands Nature Reserve
Jerrabomberra Wetlands is an accessible nature reserve located near the Canberra CBD. The filling of Lake Burley Griffin in 1964 led to an artificially high water table on the MolongloRiver floodplain resulting in the Jerrabomberra Wetlands. The reserve is an important sanctuary for local birds as well as bird species migrating from the northern hemisphere & from inland Australia & includes over 170 different bird species.
The Jerrabomberra Wetlands walk consists of a 3.2km loop trail considered a moderately challenging route, taking an average of 40 min to complete. All the mapped walks are pram & wheelchair accessible. The Wetlands office has a ramp for access & additional parking.
This trail begins at the designated parking area of the reserve, head west along Kellys Loop & continuing onto Woodland Loop until you get to the Tadorna bird hide. From here you'll double back & do a short loop following the shores of Jerrabomberra Creek before completing the full circuit of Kellys Loop. There are different style paths from paved to gravel with covered seating along the way & bird watching huts
Free off-street parking is available at the end of Dairy Road in Fyshwick and also Eyre Street in Kingston. Accessible tilets can be found 2km away at Marlborough Street bus station & Boundless Playground on Parkes Way.
