Washpool National Park

The protected area contains steep gorges, clear streams, and ancient rainforests with the largest collection of coachwood trees in New South Wales.

The establishment of the park in 1983 followed extensive logging operations in the 1800s, which targeted valuable red cedar trees in the region.

The territory holds significance for Bundjalung, Ngarrabul, and Gumbaingirri peoples who used this area as a route between coastal regions and tablelands.

Visitors can access camping facilities at Bellbird and Coombadjha grounds, with entry fees of 8 dollars per vehicle collected through self-registration.

The park contains over 140 bird species and multiple threatened animals, including the parma wallaby, pouched frog, and spotted-tailed quoll.
