Columbey National Park

Columbey National Park is a natural playground for nature and wildlife enthusiasts located in Clarence Town, New South Wales, Australia.

Situated in the Hunter Region, it offers an enjoyable trail for visitors through the beautiful New South Wales countryside.

The park offers 8km of forest trails for horse riding, wildlife watching, and a variety of other outdoor activities. Visitors can explore unmarked forest trails on foot or by mountain bike, venture off-road into the bushlands, or climb up Gilmore Hill for a view over the park. Along the Williams River, eastern grey kangaroos, swamp wallabies, and birds such as the yellow-tailed black cockatoo can be spotted.
