Abercrombie River National Park

The Abercrombie River National Park extends across 19,000 hectares of forest land, featuring three rivers and multiple camping locations throughout the reserve.

Gold mining activities in 1851 along the Abercrombie River left visible traces, including water races, diggings, and sluices that remain within the park boundaries.

The territory holds connections to Aboriginal heritage, with the Wiradjuri and Gundungara peoples utilizing the river system before European settlement in the region.

Four designated camping grounds - Bummaroo Ford, Silent Creek, The Beach, and The Sink - provide different accessibility levels for both 2WD and 4WD vehicles.

The national park contains the largest undisturbed open forest section in the New South Wales Central Tablelands, supporting animals requiring extensive territory ranges.
