Trail Description

You’ll find Frenchvale Brook Walking Trail near North Sydney — a 1.4km loop trail rated 2B for difficulty.

Nestled in the community of Frenchvale, just outside Sydney/Norht Sydney, the Frenchvale Brook Walking Trail brings together small‑town charm and the quiet beauty of woodland streams. 

This gentle loop trail follows the brook through a mixture of forest and occasional clearings. Though it’s only a little over 1 km long with around 65 m of elevation gain, it leads you close enough to the brook to hear and see the woodland waters weaving through the trees. The setting is ideal for a brief escape: grab a coffee, stroll in the dappled light, and linger at the bench near the brook.

Short, local, and unhurried, the Frenchvale Brook Trail is perfect for families, dog walks, or anyone in search of a peaceful pause in everyday life.
