The Green Trail river walk (4kms) offers a unique opportunity to explore the final stretch of the Hennops River.

By collecting just one bag of rubbish during your hike, you can make a significant impact on the river’s ecosystem. To show their appreciation for your efforts, they will happily refund your hiking fee.
