About Pitt Town Nature Reserve
Bird Hide Over Pitt Town Lagoon
Pitt Town Nature Reserve has a bird hide on the edge of Pitt Town Lagoon, and birdwatching is the reserve's main use. The hide sits on the walking track and gives a clear view over the water and the wetland beyond it. Birds on the lagoon sit some distance from the hide, so a long lens helps when photographing them. Visitors can also look over the lagoon from the grassy edge of Church Street before going down to the reserve entrance.
Walking Track at Pitt Town Nature Reserve

It starts at the reserve entrance at the end of Church Street, crosses a bridge over Bardenarang Creek and reaches the bird hide before looping back to the entrance.
