Watagans National Park

This park protects the headwaters of the Congewai and Quorrobolong creeks, which drain into the Hunter River, and the Gap and Dora creeks, which drain into Lake Macquarie.

Enjoy spectacular views of rainforest gullies, and Monkey Face Lookout, sitting above the Martinsville Valley. Boarding House Dam picnic area, set among large blackbutt and blue gum trees, offers rainforest walks along the creek, or a paddle on a hot summer's day. Magnificent red cedar and Illawarra flame trees line the walk to Gap Creek Falls from the picnic area.
