Fortis Creek National Park, Nature reserve in Clarence Valley, Australia
Fortis Creek National Park is a nature reserve in Clarence Valley featuring a network of walking trails through forest and heathland. A ridgeline route with elevated paths encircles the creek headwaters and provides options for exploring the terrain at different levels.
The area was originally designated as Fortis Creek State Forest before being converted to a protected national park in 1997. This change brought formal protection to the region and its natural features.
The park sits within Bundjalung country and connects to Banyabba Nature Reserve at its borders. Visitors can experience the links between different protected areas across this landscape.
The park is best reached by vehicle via Fortis Creek Road, which provides access from the main route. Trail conditions change with weather, particularly where creek crossings occur, so checking conditions before visiting is helpful.
The park displays rare sandstone-based vegetation typical of this region. Trails end with a creek crossing that can range from easy to challenging depending on water levels.
