The Lane Cove River begins near Thornleigh and flows for around fifteen kilometres before emptying into Sydney Harbour at Greenwich. By the time it reaches this section, it has widened into a calm, tidal waterway, shaped by the harbour rather than a fast-moving river.
Along here, the water is usually still, with mangroves lining parts of the shoreline and the occasional kayak or small boat passing through. It feels noticeably quieter than the main harbour, with a more local atmosphere. If you stop for a moment, you’ll often spot birdlife along the edges, especially in the more sheltered sections.
