“Namadgi National Park is a sprawling protected area that encompasses 106,095 hectares, boasting 160 kilometers of well-maintained walking tracks. The park provides stunning mountains of granite and a wide range of habitats. The landscape is rich in diversity and history. Namadgi National Park has been managed by the Ngunnawal people for millennia. Notably, the Park plays a vital role as a water catchment area, which supplies over 85 percent of Canberra's water. The weather of the park changes from cold winter nights to warm summer days in the sub-alpine region. The park's significance extends to protecting high-altitude sphagnum bogs, and also serves as a habitat for species, and acts as a natural reservoir that gradually releases pristine water into Canberra's water supply.”

NAMADGI NATIONAL PARK REVIEWS

We did the Woodlands walk. It was beautiful and peaceful. They say it is an hour walk. But it was more like twenty to thirty minutes. When we got to the furthest end of the walk we kept going and went up the Mt Tennet path for a while. Be careful of the road crossing. The ground was wet and the path looked like a small stream at times. Overall though, it was a good walk.

What an awesome place. Spent here a weekend bikepacking. Good trails and great place for camping.

Great views from Booroomba Rocks. Week worth the 40 min walk up the moderate track.

MOUNT TAYLOR NATURE RESERVE REVIEWS

Lots of tracks to explore, beautiful views and nature. We especially love to listen to the frogs in the water after rain. Lots of kangaroos. A night walk is fabulous if you bring a torch and are mindful of the local animals.

I ran the trail to the peak, while on a business trip to Canberra. It was great! I’ve seen some kangaroos and the view from the top of the mountain was amazing! Great trail run.

Been hiking and running around here a few times on my holiday in Canberra. So many kangaroos, great views and an amazing hill if you like those things.
