Located less than 20 minutes drive from the centre of Kangaroo Valley town this hike is a fun and rewarding trail with, you guessed it, three epic views.The views are:
- Shoalhaven River View
- Tallowa Dam View
- Lake Yarrunga View
The trail is slightly under 10km long if all three viewpoints are visited. You can cut it down to less to suit your own time and distance goals. The trail is pretty flat for the most part with very little elevation gain, making it a nice and easy one for a variety of levels of fitness.
If you only have time to visit one of the viewpoints we highly recommend Shoalhaven River View. This viewpoint was beautiful and open giving wide-ranging views over the national park and surrounding area.

The hike starts from Tallowa Dam Road, where you’ll park across the road. Once you cross the road you’ll see a gate leading to the Three Views Walk.
The trail is an out-and-back with three different arms leading to three different viewpoints. Each viewpoint is close to a cliff edge so take care if you’re out hiking with kids. The trail is a mixture of fire trail and sandy, rocky bottom. The majority of the hike is nice and wide and clearly signposted, making it very easy to follow. |

The time it took us to complete the Three Views hike was a little under two hours. Being such walkable terrain with very little vertical gain it was a pretty quick trail to complete.
It’s also important for us to note that the track is very exposed, so if you’re hiking in the summer months bring plenty of fluids and watch out for our reptilian friends (snakes)!
