Timeline
09:00
Arrive at the Hunter Wetlands Centre. The 45-hectare site opens at 09:00, giving you the quietest time to explore the walking trails before the midday rush.
10:00
Check the route to a nearby cafe or shop for a coffee or light lunch. There are no food or drink options listed within the wetlands centre itself, so you will need to head out to the adjacent Hexham area.
10:30
Return to the Hunter Wetlands Centre to finish your walk. Use the bicycle or canoe trails if you want a different perspective of the regenerated wetlands and Hexham Swamp.
Local tip
The centre is open daily from 09:00 to 17:00. Arriving at opening time ensures you have the full day to yourself for the walking trails.
