Mount Kaputar National Park, Nature reserve in New South Wales, Australia

Mount Kaputar National Park covers the Nandewar Range, where erosion has cut the lavas of a volcano active 17 to 21 million years ago into terraces, plugs and dykes. Its centrepiece, Mount Kaputar, rises to 1,510 m, and the summit gives a 360-degree view over roughly 80,000 sq km, a tenth of New South Wales. The park lies 50 km east of Narrabri and 570 km northwest of Sydney.

The area was used as grazing land before it became a public recreation area in 1925. It was then given national park status in 1959 under New South Wales administration.

Scutts Hut, the former home of the Scutt pioneer family, is the park's most popular site; it has been restored to its original livery with an earthen floor and an open fireplace. It stands on the banks of Horsearm Creek, above Kurrawonga Falls, and is reached by a fire trail from the Bark Hut camping ground.

The park has walking trails for different fitness levels, along with camping areas and small accommodations on site. Water and basic facilities are available at selected spots, making it possible to stay for more than a day.

The park is home to a rare pink slug that lives only in this mountain area and comes out after rainfall. Its color is so noticeable that walkers who venture out after a shower are likely to spot one on the path.
