About Bald Rock National Park
Bald Rock National Park is a protected area in northern New South Wales near the Queensland border, about 30 kilometres north of Tenterfield. Centred on Bald Rock, Australia's largest exposed granite monolith measuring about 750 metres long, 500 metres wide and 200 metres high, the 88.83 square kilometre park is known for dramatic granite landscapes, open eucalypt forest and panoramic views across the New England and Granite Belt regions. Established in 1971, it offers walking tracks, lookouts and camping.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a rugged granite landscape dominated by the vast, bare dome of Bald Rock. The park offers marked walking tracks through eucalypt forest and granite boulder country to the summit, with expansive views over northern New South Wales and southern Queensland including Girraween National Park. Facilities are concentrated at the Bald Rock picnic and camping area with lookouts, interpretive signs and access to summit tracks. The environment is natural and relatively undeveloped, suited to bushwalking, photography and nature appreciation.
