Dawsons Spring Nature Trail
Mount Kaputar National Park
Menu
GPS Tracks
An easy loop walk from Dawsons Spring Camping picnic and day use area. This walk carries you through the sub-alpine woodland, across the stream and waterfall, back to the far end of the camping area. Interpretative signs of the flora and forma along the way help you appreciate your surroundings in more depth.
Getting there:
From Narrabri, take Old Gunnedah Road south and after about 2.5km, turn left onto Kaputar Road. Follow Kaputar Road for 27km to the entrance of Mount Kaputar National Park. The road from the park entrance is a steep, single lane road and caravans are not permitted.
You’ll find the Dawsons Spring Campground day use area car park about 20km along on the right, which is where the walk begins.

Permits/Costs:
None.
Other References/Comments:
With so many bushwalking options here and a length drive in, why not take advantage of the excellent camping facilities at Bark Hut or Dawsons Spring.
