at Cumberland State Forest
Cumberland State Forest is a unique urban forest located 30km north west of Sydney. Boasting 40 hectares of beautiful bushland and a huge array of bird life, there are easy-to-medium grade scenic walking tracks as well as BBQs for family gatherings. There’s something to suit all ages and a variety of interests! Discover what forests in NSW have to offer – forests provide timber, employment, habitat, clean air, water and a place to be. Come along to one of our activities, grab a coffee or lunch at Cafe Saligna, or browse the plants at the native nursery.
