Watagans National Park

The protected area spans 77.51 square kilometers of natural terrain, featuring rainforest gullies, tall eucalyptus trees, and multiple walking trails throughout the park.

The New South Wales government established Watagans National Park in 1999 to preserve the natural ecosystems and maintain ecological balance in the region.

The park contains more than 40 Aboriginal sites with rock art and engravings, representing the enduring connection of Indigenous peoples to this land.

Visitors can access the park through Heaton Road or Mount Faulk Road, with camping facilities available at Bangalow and Gap Creek grounds including barbecue areas.

The Great North Walk traverses through the park, offering hikers views of Illawarra flame trees and red cedars along the path to Gap Creek Falls.
