Cambridge Plateau Forest Drive - 2WD access dry weather only north of picnic area
Cambridge Plateau Forest Drive access is limited to dry weather only for 2WD vehicles from Cambridge Picnic Area north to Peacock Creek Road.
All drivers to use caution when travelling north of the picnic area during and following wet weather.
We apologies for any inconvenience. For more information, contact the Kyogle NPWS office on 02 6632 0000 or npws.richmondriver@environment.nsw.gov.au.
Cambridge Plateau picnic area is in the southern precinct of Richmond Range National Park and offers comfortable, well-maintained facilities for those looking for a place to rest after exploring the park. On a ridge nestled among towering tallowwood and flooded gums, the picnic area enjoys majestic scenic views over forests that stretch toward the Richmond valley. Keep your camera ready - long-nosed potoroos like to wriggle through at the edge of the bush, or you may receive a visit from a yellow-bellied glider or brush-tail possum at night.
Culmaran Valley walking track also begins here, rising toward the head of the valley, where outlooks continue for miles across to the east of Wollumbin and Nightcap national parks.
The Culmaran loop trail is also accessible nearby for those who prefer an easy walk through tall, healthy, dry woodlands at the edge of nearby World Heritage rainforest.
