Forest Path is a 4.4-kilometre loop though temperate rainforest of the Royal National Park. While walking this forest, keep in mind that it is one of the oldest walking tracks in the park, opened in 1886. Even 100 years ago, people explored these same dense clusters of cabbage tree palms, massive ferns and tall eucalypt trees. In winter, look out for Gymea lilies that bloom with bright red flowers. Take in the sound of running water throughout the loop from Hacking River and Bola Creek. It truly is a magical loop through the rainforest.
