Historic Ballina Riverfront Walk

Staying in town? The Ballina Riverfront Walk follows the Richmnd River out to the tip of the breakwall. The trail consists of 19 signage panels along the pathway between Fawcett Park and North Wall in East Ballina, providing brief insights into the historic importance of the river to the shire's earliest European settlers and residents.

At the beginning of the walk, inspect the public art by some of our local artists and read about their significance and what inspired them and take a voyage of discovery at the Ballina Naval & Maritime Museum. 

Keep an eye out for dolphins, turtles ad bird life as you follow the waterways.

Alternate route - instead of heading over the bridge to do the breakwall, continue under the bridge and head along North Creek and meander down Norton Street which has beautiful old homes, back to the Richmond River.
