Track Grade

Grade 2 (Easy) - A Gentle Introduction to Inclines: Grade 2 on the AWTGS represents easy walking tracks that offer a slightly more challenging experience compared to Grade 1. Similar to Grade 1, no prior bushwalking experience is required. The track surface is typically hardened or compacted and may have gentle hill sections or occasional steps. The total distance of a Grade 2 walk is typically no greater than 10 kilometers. These walks are still suitable for families with a bit more experience or those seeking a gentle introduction to some inclines.

Getting there

Angle Crossing River Track (800m)

This pleasant walk starts at the Angle Crossing car park. Angle Crossing is off Angle Crossing Road via the Monaro Highway near Williamsdale or Smiths Road near Tharwa. Parking is available.

Angle Crossing is the southernmost point of the Murrumbidgee River within the ACT. It is accessed by Angle Crossing Road which takes you down into a picturesque valley to the crossing of the Murrumbidgee River. There is usually water over this concrete crossing and it regularly gets closed due to high water levels, so it is a good idea to check road closures with Access Canberra (phone 13 22 81).

Nice enjoyable short walk. Saw a couple of Honeyeaters but we may have been a bit early for the full migration.
