CAMPING INFORMATION
CAMPING is available at the Cascades campground or Lake Creek camping area. The final 205km into Cascades is best suited to 4WD vehicles.
RECREATION
The park is a perfect area for long bushwalks and overnight camping. As one of its main assets is its wilderness value, there are no constructed paths.
FLORA & FAUNA
Due to the rugged and relatively isolated nature of the park, animal populations here have remained relatively undisturbed. Swamp wallabies, eastern grey kangaroos, wombats, possums, platypus and echidnas are evident and in places like Wadbilliga Valley are particularly common. There is a diversity of birdlife with 122 native bird species having been sighted here.
The park also contains fine examples of open forest and woodland, heath, swamp, bogs and numerous rainforest pockets.

LOCATION & ACCESS
400 kms south of Sydney, 150 km south-east of Canberra. The park covers an area of 76,399ha to the west of Narooma extending from the Woila Fire Trail in the north 48 km southwards to the Snowy Mountains Hwy.
Access is difficult. The Wadbilliga Road runs through the centre of the park, however river crossings along this route can be a problem after heavy rain.
Access to the Tuross River and Tuross Falls is via the Tuross River Rd which leaves the Badja Forest Rd about 4.5 km along from the Countegany Rd. The final section of this road leading to the Cascades Rest Area is only passable to 4W drive vehicles. From here a path leads off to a viewpoint overlooking Tuross Falls.
