Cycleway

The Magenta Shared Pathway is now open, connecting The Entrance North towards the quaint lakeside town of Toukley. Starting at The Entrance North, avid cyclists and walkers can now embark on a safe, yet scenic 6.3km walk amongst one of the Central Coast's luscious national parks, Wyrrabalong National Park. Catch glimpses of Tuggerah Lake along your cycle or stroll or stop by the viewing platform adjacent to Magenta Shores Golf Course for even greater panoramic views of our stunning waterways.

To access this walk, park either at The Entrance North Boat Ramp at the southern end of the trail or begin closer to the town of Norah Head and park at the Red Gum & Lilly Pilly Walking track car park. For cyclists, there is also a bicycle repair station located approximately 130 metres south of Lilly Pilly Walking track car park.
