Works on the Speers Point to Glendale shared pathway have wrapped up.
The track runs parallel with Cockle Creek, past Waratah Golf Club, and links at Glendale with the existing Tramway Track to Wallsend.
The completion of the leg means cyclists and commuters have a continuous, mostly off-road 18 kilometre route to the University of Newcastle and beyond.
Lake Macquarie Mayor Kay Fraser says it's great for commuting, exercise, or just sightseeing.
"It's known throughout New South Wales and Australia about our Fernleigh Shared Track, about our Richmond Vale Trail, the beautiful shared paths around our city and the other local government areas," Cr Fraser said.
"Adding this to that will mean that people will be able to actually use it as a tourist destination, but also, a means of getting to work as well."
