About Lane Cove Trail

Roots and exposed stone cover much of the unpaved footing here, and cairns mark the route where it crosses bare rock. The trail is reached from the Greenstone Ridge Trail and leads to a small walk-in campground on the island's north shore. The Rock Harbor Visitor Center and Stoll Trail are a short walk away.
