Green Point Reserve is situated between the quiet suburbs of Belmont and Valentine by the Lake. This point offers Lake Macquarie’s most scenic and enjoyable natural attractions for cycling, walking and picnicking.

The bushland at Green Point features much native flora and fauna, adding interest to the walk. The flora includes open forests of Spotted Gum, Grey Gum, White Mahogany and Forest Red Gum. There is also remnant Littoral Rainforests. These areas provide habitat for native fauna including the Ring-tail Possum, Squirrel Glider, Powerful Owl and Sea Eagle.

There are three main walking access points into the reserve: the end of Dilkera Avenue at Valentine, The Shores Way at Belmont and Green Point Drive behind Belmont Hospital. The beauty of Green Point Reserve is it provides the walker with several track variations. If you want, you can also follow the water’s edge or inland tracks to have more adventure.
