Popran National Park, Nature reserve in Central Coast Council, Australia
Popran National Park is a nature reserve on the central coast that spans across a large area with varied environments. The park includes mangrove zones, eucalyptus forests, and riverside lands alongside the Hawkesbury River.
The reserve was established in 1994 and took its name from a creek flowing through the nearby valley. This waterway has long shaped the landscape and water systems of the region.
The national park holds numerous Aboriginal sites that document the connection between indigenous communities and this section of New South Wales territory.
The area has unsealed roads that are only suitable for four-wheel drive vehicles in some sections. Visitors with regular cars should check which parking areas and walking paths are accessible to them.
A lookout point offers views over sandstone ridges, while walking paths pass through mangrove areas. These trails show places where freshwater and saltwater meet.
