Information

Boonoo State Forest is popular for its unique and rugged landscapes, hiking, bushwalking, horse-riding and four-wheel driving. Note that adjacent Basket Swamp National Park offers dedicated horse-riding trails which complement Boonoo State Forest where horse-riders are welcome.

WHAT TO SEE NEARBY

Basket Swamp visitor area offers basic, rustic facilities for picnic and short-stay camping. Basket Swamp Creek drains a large area (approx. 200 hectares) of waterlogged heath and sedge species, filtering rainfall from the tablelands into the Clarence River catchment. Basket Swamp Falls is a stunning part of this water system. Visitors can access this area via Basket Swamp Trail, a 10-minute drive from Basket Swamp visitor area. Basket Swamp Falls is approximately 40 minutes’ drive (30km) from Tenterfield.
