Hikes, Walking Tracks & Swimming Holes - Orange 360

Hikes, Walking Tracks & Swimming Holes

Explore the stunning landscapes of the Orange Region by foot or bike. This area is rich in native wildlife, like colourful rosellas, cheeky cockatoos, and playful kangaroos. Each season brings its own charm: think cherry blossoms in spring, sunny summer days, autumn colours, and cozy winter mornings.

Tackle the mountain trails on Mount Canobolas, where you can crunch through snow in winter and spot wombat tracks along the path. Check out the heritage trails for some self-guided tours that let you discover historic buildings and local folklore.

 

From the carpark by Ophir Road, follow Central Mines trail to The Falls at Summer Hill Creek for breathtaking views of the waterfalls. The falls are lovely all year around, but are particularly striking when water levels in the creek are high following heavy rainfall. At the bottom of these glorious waterfalls, you'll find a tranquil swimming hole that makes the most perfect place to cool off on a hot summer's day.

Summer Hill Creek is also a good spot for off bank fishing.

Pack a picnic and drive to nearby Fourth Crossing picnic area, then take a walk along Historic Water Race walking track.
