The Ballina Historic Waterfront Trail features 19 interpretive plaques along a scenic walkway, starting at Fawcett Park in the CBD and extending along the Richmond River to North Wall. This trail offers fascinating insights into the river's historical significance to Ballina Shire's early European settlers. Keep an eye out for playful dolphins near the bridge and river mouth. During whale watching season, North Wall provides a spectacular vantage point, while the sight of fishing trawlers heading out to sea at sunset is truly breathtaking. The Richmond River is a prime spot for fishing enthusiasts, offering excellent opportunities to catch elusive local species. Whether you're interested in history, wildlife, or outdoor activities, the Ballina Historic Waterfront Trail is a must-visit destination.
