Cascade National Park is a national park located in New South Wales, Australia, 431 kilometres (268 mi) northeast of Sydney. Its establishment followed environmental campaigns, including the blockading of logging within sections that would form part of the park, such as Wild Cattle Creek.[1]
The park covers 3,700ha of temperate and subtropical rainforest.[2][3]
Cascade National Park offers unique experiences throughout the year, each season showcasing its charm. Autumn brings mild weather, perfect for walking amidst vibrant, brightly colored fungi. Spring offers dry conditions ideal for mountain biking through lush forests. Summer, the wettest season, reveals the rainforest's full splendor with abundant fungi and fruits. Winter, though cooler, offers tranquil, misty walks in near solitude, making it a magical time to explore. No matter when you visit, the park promises natural beauty and unforgettable adventures.[4]
