Ride 10 - Mt Henry Bridge to Riverton Bridge

Continue along the shared path under Mt Henry Bridge for approximately 250 metres. The path joins and continues along The Esplanade.

Turn left onto The Esplanade and follow it around to the right as it becomes Pulo Road. Continue down to Leach Highway traffic lights and turn left into the shared path cycleway.

Proceed along the path past Bateman Yagan Park turning left at the Webb Street intersection.

Turn left again on to the shared path which follows Bull Creek Road. Continue down this path to Riverton Drive West. This is an extremely pleasant ride. The flat shared path winds its way through numerous groves of native trees and there are plenty of pleasant rest areas along the ride. This is a very popular ride on weekends and holidays, particularly with families. Looking out onto the river you will see the remains of the ‘convict fence’, constructed by convicts in 1866. You will notice that the majority of the opposite bank is undeveloped land – this adds to the scenic appeal of the ride.

The dual use cycleway comes to an end at Park Beach Close. This is a good start/finish point. From here you can see Shelley Bridge approximately 150 metres away.

Ride along Park Beach Close towards Shelley Bridge and follow the shared path under the Bridge to Riverton Drive East, then ride 200m to Riverton Bridge – a good start/finish point.

Note:

1. This is a very scenic route and paths are quite windy. Please take care and cycle at a controlled pace on these paths.
2. An alternative route from Mt Henry Bridge to Leach Highway is to follow the shared path leading from the bridge to Beamish Avenue, crossing Cranford Avenue into Shaw Close and turning left into Pulo Road which veers right to Leach Highway.
