Kanangra-Boyd National Park lies to the south west of and is contiguous with Blue Mountains National Park. The Kanangra-Boyd Wilderness Area boasts a large scenic water catchment area, providing opportunities for solitude and unsophisticated, self-reliant recreation.

Within Kanangra-Boyd National Park there are two land units, the elevated, gently undulating Boyd Plateau and the labyrinth of creeks, rivers, deep gorges and spiny ridges into which the plateau falls away. The plateau is traversed by the Kanangra Walls Road and can be accessed either from Oberon or Jenolan Caves.

Activities: For experienced bushwalkers there are plenty of opportunities for extended walks and backpack camping. Wildlife abounds at Boyd Crossing, where car-based camping is available (fees apply). A pleasant 10-minute walk from Kanangra Walls carpark takes you to a lookout over the park. The carpark toilets, lookout and Boyd River camping area are all wheelchair-accessible.

Access: 180 kilometres west of Sydney near Jenolan Caves on Kanangra Road (unpaved but suitable for 2WD).
