Forest Walk (Cumberland State Forest)

A feature of this walk is the tall native trees and Cabbage Tree Palms. As well as cool gullies and ferns there is plenty of birdlife in the forest. Cumberland State Forest is the only urban forest in Australia. The forest was established in 1939. The walks are signposted with interpretive signs and individual plant names. It is possible to see indigenous plants of the Hills District as well as rainforest trees from elsewhere in NSW.

Comments

Nice walk with some very tall trees. I found it confusing to find the track near the TreeTops kids park.

It might be helpful to know that as you come up the hill, TreeTops is to your right, and the path continues to your left. I found that this was not clear on the council's track notes.
