Bush, water and a proper workout. The Park Circuit Track loops Manly Dam, Sydney's largest freshwater lake, created by damming Curl Curl Creek in 1892.

Pack a picnic and a swimsuit. The reserve is a favourite for swimming, picnics, fishing and water skiing, so it suits active families and anyone after a decent bush walk without leaving the suburbs.
