Jetty Link Trail complete - walkers are welcome
The Jetty Link Trail component of the 6km Jemmys Point Loop Trails features stair structures connecting Hotel Road to the Kalimna Jetty. The stairs were showing signs of aging and were in dire need of replacement.
The upgrades to the switchback mineral earth trail with steps and stairs through native forest have been completed, enhancing the safety and comfort for those using the trail - yet another fabulous tourist attraction for the Lakes Entrance area.
