Eagles Nest Walking Track
See the best that the park has to offer in just a few hours on the Eagles Nest walking track. Experience World Heritage rainforest, snow gum forest and outstanding views.
Eagles Nest walking track takes you on a journey though World Heritage rainforest and snow gum forest, with outstanding views along the way.
Climb down into the ageless world of Gondwana rainforest. Marvel at the huge mossy Antarctic beech trees covered in fungus and dotted with beech orchids. You’ll see water trickling from the rocks, often freezing and forming chandeliers of ice that glisten in the winter light.
Climb back up to the escarpment near Banksia Point and return to Point lookout through the snow gum woodland. Look out for the brilliantly coloured crimson rosellas as you wander through the forest. In spring, you’ll be treated to the beauty of snow gum woodland carpeted with snowgrass tussocks and colourful wildflowers.
Finish with the breathtaking views from Point lookout, knowing what incredible natural wonders lie in the wilderness below.

Lyrebird loop Walk
This one can be taken from a couple of points to get the loop in. Be prepared to traverse along rocky and tree root covered paths. Beware of the odd land slip and there are many steps worked into the root system of trees going up and down. Can be a loop with Upper and Lower trail.

Listen out for the Honey Eaters amongst the Banksia and Tea Tree and walk through forests of Hanging and Sphagnum moss that form on the path you walk. A true walk back in time to Gondwana land.

Wrights Lookout Walk
Wrights lookout walking track takes you through a lush world of ferns and wildflowers to a rocky plateau with spectacular panoramic views looking down to Bellinger River.
The walk to Wrights Lookout takes you from the lush world of ferns and mosses to a rocky plateau with spectacular panoramic views.
It’s a bit of a scramble to get to the top (short section of steep slippery rock but not much of a scramble), but you’ll be rewarded at the end, standing on the top of an ancient trachyte remnant of Ebor Volcano, looking down to Bellinger River in the valley below.
Pack a thermos and enjoy a hot cuppa and a picnic with a view. The views from the top are beautiful all year round, but in spring the heathlands burst with colourful wildflowers. For the birdwatchers, keep your eyes out for honeyeaters as they come to feed on the flowering banksia.

An easy walk along the side of Boggy Creek. A few tree roots and narrow path at times, with plenty of opportunities to cool your feet in the waters as it cascades over the boulders. Some rather large Land Mullet can be seen along the way.

Minyon Falls Loop
The Minyon Falls is a plunge waterfall on the Repentance Creek in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia. The waterfall descends more than 100 metres over the huge rhyolite cliffs which were once part of the Tweed Volcano.
Walk down to the base of the falls; a very pretty interesting walk. After the rain the water gushes past you.

Minyon Grass to Base of Minyon Falls
This walk is the shorter alternative to the Minyon Loop (4 - 5 hr). It follows the Minyon Loop track from the Minyon Grass picnic grounds down along Repentance Creek to the base of the falls. The last 100m of the walk (to get to the waterfall base and pool) is scrambling up large boulders. Be careful when it's wet as the rocks can be very slippery. The majority of this walk is of medium difficultly however the scramble at the end lifts the difficulty to hard.
