Winding downhill to the Wollondilly River and offering breathtaking views along the way, Wollondilly River walking track is a pleasant walk through beautiful forest. With some steep sections, a rough track and limited signage, it's also a difficult walk suitable for very experienced bushwalkers.

Starting from the informal parking area you'll follow Dirrang Management Trail for roughly 1km, descending into grey gum forest. At the bottom of Dirrang Management Trail you'll enter a flat clearing, and then continue on a smaller trail heading west along a section of grass. The trail splits here with Baldy Billy Peak walking track on your right heading north, and Wollondilly River walking track on your left heading south.

As you follow Wollondilly River walking track you'll make your way along the ridge top, and then head further downhill for 800m. The track can be slippery here, and steep in some sections, so walking sticks could be a good option. Keep going, and when you reach the next intersection you'll take the right and continue heading west into forest red gum woodland.

After another 1.5km you'll find yourself at the Wollondilly River and the return point of your walk. You'll also receive the reward for your efforts, with the riverbank providing stunning river views and a perfect spot to swim or enjoy a picnic among the big boulders.
