Nymboida National Park

Nymboida National Park is a nature reserve in the Clarence Valley region featuring elevated terrain and two rivers that wind through dense bushland. The landscape shows the varied terrain typical of inland eastern Australia with different vegetation types and waterways.

The protected area was officially established in 1980 to preserve regional ecosystems. A major expansion followed in 2008 to strengthen conservation of the local wilderness.

The park represents a key destination for experiencing Australian wilderness within New South Wales. Visitors come here to hike and paddle through landscapes that define this region's natural character.

The park is reached from Grafton by heading west on Gwydir Highway and turning south onto Old Glen Innes Road toward Buccarumbi. Sturdy walking boots and water gear are useful for the various activities available within the park.

The two rivers within the park form Australia's longest whitewater paddling trail, offering sections suitable for both beginners and experienced paddlers with rapids of varying difficulty. This river stretch draws water sports enthusiasts throughout the year seeking different levels of challenge.
