Tall and majestic Mount Canobolas, an ancient volcano, stands 1395 metres above sea level. Mount Canobolas is the highest peak between the Blue Mountains and the Indian Ocean. A stunning 360-degree view from the summit encompasses the city of Orange, the rolling countryside and the Blue Mountains
in the distance. During winter the Mountain is often capped with snow making the view from the summit even more spectacular.
'Canobolas' is derived from two aboriginal words 'Coona' and 'Booloo'. Together and roughly translated, they mean 'two-heads', a description of the two peaks of the mountain. The area has significant conservation values, an intriguing geological history and many rock formations. It also hosts unique
range of plants and animals including a number of endangered species.
Birdwatchers will enjoy seeing rosellas, cockatoos, parrots, lorikeets and robins, whilst grey kangaroos, wallabies, wombats and small possums can be found closer to the ground. The gnarled Snow Gums in the area provide an excellent frame for the panorama of orchards below. Wattle, wild cherry trees and hyacinth orchards provide generous colours to the Mountain.
A series of walking trails have been created to take you around the reserve and mountain attractions like the Federal Falls, Mount Towac, Bald Hill and Young Man Canobolas. Picnic and barbeque facilities are available in the park and toilets can be found near the main entrance.
