Ride 6 - Point Walter to Applecross

From Point Walter Reserve continue along the shared path by-passing the car park and connecting up with the path next to Carroll Drive. Alternatively, you can continue down hill to the Point Walter Jetty through the car park and grassed area and on to Burke Drive. Be aware of cars and pedestrians if
you take this route.

Proceed along Burke Drive until just opposite Carroll Drive where you will see a shared path to your left. Follow this path around the river through Attadale Reserve. After Attadale Reserve you will pass Troy Park on your left and then venture past Alfred Cove Nature Reserve. This is a great spot for catching a glimpse of our native fauna.

The path continues past the Atwell Gallery and Tompkins Park on the right. There are public toilets attached to the cricket club. On summer weekends you may like to stop and watch a suburban grade game of cricket.

Follow the cycleway to between Melville Beach Road and the river as it passes Lucky Bay. This is a very popular spot for sailboarding.

Turn right at Dee Road and then take the first turn left into Fraser Road. Continue up the hill past the old Majestic Hotel site and then commence a very steep descent until you reach a T-junction fronting Jeff Joseph Reserve, which is an ideal start/finish point.

Note:
For an interesting detour, turn left onto the shared path at Jeff Joseph Reserve and follow it around the front of the old Majestic Hotel site until you reach a wooden boardwalk. This continues around Point Dundas and provides some scenic views of the Swan River.
