Top trails

#1 - Wheeny Gap Falls via North Wheeny Gap Trail

This route heads through the dense bush for 6km along a fire trail of varying quality. before then heading 1.5 km down a steep trail along Wheeny creek to the falls. A tough walk but it is worth it for the stunning falls and pool that not many people get to see. In theory, you could drive part of the North Wheeny Gap Trail with a 4WD to do a shorter walk, but it is narrow and rough in sections, so it's only for experienced drivers.

#8 - Canoe Creek Track

4.6(105)

•Hard

•4.6 mi

If you're up for a challenge, you can take a long walk during the day or a reasonable overnight trek down to Canoe Creek where it meets the Colo River. However, be aware that the track leading down to the creek is quite steep, so caution is advised to avoid slips. The good news is that the effort is rewarded with breathtaking views of the Colo River and Savage Ridge at the base of the track. Just keep in mind that this area isn't visited very often, so finding your way may be a bit tricky.

#9 - Deep Pass Circuit

If you're up for a challenge, take a hike in the Newnes State Forest! The trail begins and ends on Glow Worm Tunnel Road, and it even crosses into the Wollemi National Park. You'll get to see some amazing sights, like Split Rock, Canyon Walk, and Nayook Creek. While you're hiking, be sure to take in all the gorgeous native flora that surrounds you. And if you want to spend the night, book a spot at the Deep Pass walk-in campsite (tents only). Just head to the Parks New South Wales website...

Starting at Dunn's Swamp, this is a scenic route that hugs the edge of the Cudgegong River and features a short detour up to Pagados Lookout, which entails a short steep climb where the path is hard to find. There’s a nice chair with a view further around as you head towards the weir wall. There’s long rock overhang called Long Cave. This lovely walk can take up about half the day if you stretch it out. Take water and snacks!
