Charles Kemp Reserve has outstanding scenic qualities, varying from steep,rugged topography in the north to undulating hills and gullies in the south. The reserve follows a bend in the Hawkesbury River for approximately 600 metres.The river’s edge ranges from steep alluvial riverbanks to dramatic sandstone cliffs. While the southern portion has been largely cleared and modified for agriculture much of the reserve remains as natural bushland. It has significant natural and Aboriginal archaeological heritage, scenic and biodiversity values.It also offers outstanding opportunities for limited passive and nature-based recreation such as bushwalking.
