Boyd River loop

Boyd River loop starts at Boyd River campground, part of Kanangra-Boyd National Park. To get there:

• From Oberon: Turn off the main street onto Ross Street at the National Australia Bank, then follow the signs to Jenolan Caves and Kanangra-Boyd National Park. A pleasant 25-minute drive through high country grazing land and pine plantations will take you to the park entrance. Follow this road to Kanangra Walls carpark. Allow an hour to get from the entrance to the carpark.
  
• From Jenolan Caves: Take the exit road to Edith up to the intersection with Kanangra Road. Turn left and continue towards Kanangra Walls for 25km.

Road quality

Check the weather before you set out as the road to Boyd River loop can become boggy when it rains.

Parking

Parking is available at Boyd River campground, including several designated disabled spots.

There are lots of great things waiting for you in Kanangra-Boyd National Park. Here are some of the highlights.

Spring

A beautiful time of year to enjoy hiking and mountain biking; the temperature isn't too hot. The Kanangra Classic, a weekend of outdoor adventure, takes place at Jensens Farm near Boyd River Campground in October. The event includes mountain bike enduros, a social ride and an ultramarathon.

Summer

Take the family camping in the mountains. This is best time of year for canyoning, as well as spotting some of the park's wildlife including kangaroos, echidnas, wombats and lyrebirds.

Winter

With cold temperatures during these months, including the possibility of snow, it's best to walk and mountain bike as part of a day trip. You'll be rewarded with the yellow Kanangra wattle beginning to bloom in late winter.
