Jerusalem Bay is one of the most scenic spots along the Great North Walk in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. The track descends through sandstone bushland and eucalypt forest before reaching the quiet waters of the bay, which forms part of Cowan Creek. Surrounded by steep bush-covered hills, the sheltered inlet feels remote despite being relatively close to Sydney. The calm water and sandy edges make it a peaceful place to rest along the walk, and it’s common to spot fish, waterbirds, and other wildlife around the bay.

Hiking

A fabulous part of the Great Northen Walk. We parked at Cowan station. The waymarked trail passes through the station :-), walk through National Park and finish the walk in picturesque Brooklyn. Then an easy train ride back to the car. on the weekend it can be 90 min between trains. So, watch your timing.
