National Parks

The Byron Bay Hinterland is surrounded by stunning natural beauty such as Minyon Falls, Whian Whian Forest, Rocky Creek Dam, Nightcap Ranges, Border Ranges & Mount Warning.

A number of the parks in the region are members of the World Heritage Listed Central Eastern Rainforest Reserves. One of the most notable in the area is the Mount Warning National Park which is the remnant central plug of an ancient volcano. Now eroded down to half its original height, the 1100-m-high Mount Warning offers a fantastic walk to the summit through rainforest communities, with a challenging final rock scramble rewarding you with 360° views of the bowl-shaped Tweed Valley.
