Kanangra-Boyd National Park

Enjoy a picnic in the park

Take in the outstanding views with a picnic. There are plenty of picnic tables throughout the park, accompanied by uncompromised views – a great place to enjoy your lunch! Just remember to pack copious amounts of water to stay hydrated.

Go bush-walking

With a numerous range of walks to choose from, you will certainly keep the family occupied. From shorter walks to enjoy with the kids to 3 day treks, there really is something for everyone. One of the most popular walks is the waterfall walk which offers great views of the cascading water at Kanangra and Kalang Falls. Starting at the Kanangra Walls carpark, you will need to go via the Kanangra-Boyd lookout before getting onto the track leading you to the waterfall. The walks takes around 30 minutes, and is only 1.6km each way. Why not pack a picnic and stop off along the way?

Go cycling around the Boyd river loop

The Boyd river loop is a shorter distance of 21km and takes around 2 hours to complete. The track is gentle and a picture-perfect way to explore Kanangra with the family. If you’re seeking a cycling track with more distance though, why not try taking the detour which takes you a further 7.3km to the Morong Falls where you can jump into a natural swimming hole for a refreshing dip!
