The New England Wilderness Walk goes through diverse wilderness, descending over 1,000m from the edge of New England Tableland to the headwaters of Bellinger River.

The actual route starts at the beginning of Robinsons Knob Trail but for scenic and geographic reasons, this FKT starts at the cairn at the top Point Lookout carpark and finishes at the gate on Darkwood Road.

Within the mountainous Northern Tablelands, high above Clarence River Valley, a very special track links Gibraltar Range and Washpool National Parks. Gibraltar-Washpool World Heritage walk passes through dramatic and ever-changing natural environments with numerous side track options for further exploration.

Dry eucalypt forests, set amidst ridges and granite tors, are surrounded by sub-alpine swamp. Lush rainforests hold the largest tract of coachwood trees in the world. Waterfalls plummet from a lacework of streams and wild rivers.

This point-to-point route is located in the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore and National Park, as well as the state park. It showcases the full spectrum of ecological diversity in the area.
