Tips from the Community
The Mill Creek Trail Association maintains a network of shared-use, but mountain bike primary, trails along Barden Ridge. While mountain biking is the primary focus there are still plenty of trails open to hikers and trail runners with additional trails being mainly used for dirt biking.

After rain, water spills over the sandstone ledges beside Waterboard Road, turning this quiet corner of Prestons Gully into a small but lovely cascade. During dry season the cascade is unimpressive so timing makes a big difference. You can see it from beside the track, but take care around the uneven rocks, which can become particularly slippery when there is enough water to bring the cascade to life.

The Woronora River winds through a steep, bush-covered valley below Engadine, bringing a quieter, more remote feel to this section of the Pipeline Trail. The gravel service road follows the river corridor through shady eucalypt forest, though the water is sometimes partly hidden by vegetation.

Temptation Fire Trail is a wide management path that winds through eucalypt forest in the Temptation Creek area of Royal National Park. Popular with walkers, runners, and mountain bikers, it provides easy access to several bush tracks, including the Holy Trail and Honeymoon Track. It's a gentle introduction to the park's inland bushland before the steeper, more technical trails begin.

This is more of a fire road than a hiking track, but it winds through Royal National Park and connects with various other paths in the park.

You'll need to look between the trees and brush, but there is a nice view from here as you approach the ledge. There's also a trail down to Temptation Creek, if you're up for a challenge.

Follow a small spur trail from Florence Parade and you'll come to this viewpoint over the Hacking River. In fact there are a series of viewpoints along the ridge with some of them providing access down to the river.
