Swansea Boardwalk
Only opened in late 2022, the new 230m long Swansea Boardwalk is a great way to experience Lake Macquarie and the mangrove forest. Located near Swansea New South Wales it is easily accessible with a newly upgraded carpark. Access onto the boardwalk is wheelchair friendly, with the boardwalk being flat its entire length.
The Boardwalk
At only 230m, this is a very short walk, however the views are amazing. Being able to walk through the mangroves and not getting you feet wet and muddy is great. You are able to see into mud flats at low tide and see into the forest.
As you walk the views over the lake are great. At the end of the walk, you can see over the Lake to Wangi Wangi and the old decommissioned power station. A small dirt track continues from this point along the Swansea Channel for those who want to extend their walk.

The lake looks warm and inviting,. unlike here right now. Have a great weekend. Allan
It’s a great place to swim. It was 40 degrees C here yesterday. You are welcome to some of that heat but we’ll stay away from the cold. Shaun
The perfect place for a leisurely stroll.
It’s a great place for a stroll, especially if you’re not after something too energetic.
Nice spot ! by the way, I can’t Like your posts. Where it says Like This then it shows as loading underneath? Not sure why! But the little Like Box does not ever show up 🙂
That’s strange, no idea why it’s happening. There are some blogs I follow where there is no like button as well. We could all have a little glitch. Thanks for letting me know. Shaun
Looks like a nice place to walk.I would be tempted to swim in that lake.
The lake’s a great place to swim and very popular with locals
