Cascade National Park

Cascade National Park is a magical environment. Made up of temperate and subtropical rainforest, its 3,700 hectares is home to plants and wildlife of all kinds. The elegant lyrebird lives here, as do several types of rare frogs who inhabit the forest leaf litter.

A great day trip from Coffs Harbour, visitors usually begin at the village of Cascade, at the park’s centre. From there, you can go walking and cycling along trails through the rich rainforest environment, go car touring or birdwatching, or view the historic remains of the logging tramways.

The natural beauty of Cascade National Park is sure to inspire and charm the entire family, so pack a picnic and spread out a blanket for a relaxing day out. Moonpar Forest drive is a great way to combine the sights of Cascade National Park with nearby Nymboi-Binderay National Park.
