This section of the Great North Walk follows the foreshore of Lake Macquarie through Speers Point, combining lakeside shared paths with more urban parkland surroundings. Compared to the bushier sections further south on the track, this stretch feels much more open, with regular access to cafés, playgrounds, picnic areas, and waterfront reserves. The route links through Speers Point Park and continues along the lake edge toward Warners Bay and Newcastle.
