Mares Forest National Park

The 25.58 square kilometer protected area contains diverse ecosystems with kurrajong trees, rocky outcrops, and native grasslands across the Southern Tablelands region.

Established in August 2010, the national park became part of New South Wales conservation initiatives to safeguard natural environments and support regional biodiversity.

The Gundungurra people maintain strong connections to this land, which provided sustenance through traditional hunting and gathering practices for generations.

Visitors can access walking tracks throughout the park while obtaining detailed topographic maps from the Oberon office for navigation purposes.

During summer evenings, numerous kangaroos, wallabies, and wombats emerge from their daytime shelters to forage across the parkland.
