About Nerang

Park features

A popular bush retreat for visitors and locals, Nerang National Park is a place to experience nature and enjoy recreating in the peaceful outdoors. Enjoy a scenic bushwalk or horseride, or ride along one of the many exciting mountain-bike trails.

Dry rainforest and open eucalypt forests of grey gum, blue gum, stringybark and tallowwood grow in the hilly reserve, while sections of remnant gallery rainforest thrive in the gullies.

Looking after the park

• Please take your rubbish with you.
• Stay on existing tracks and trails for safety and to minimise damage.
• Please do not feed native animals —human food can harm wildlife and cause some animals to become aggressive.
• Dogs and other domestic animals are not permitted in national parks (other than certified assistance dogs or horses using shared trails marked for their use).
• Campfires are not permitted in this park.
• Trail bikes and motorised vehicles are also prohibited.

See caring for parks for more information about protecting our environment and heritage in parks.
