Border Ranges National Park (fees apply) is a World Heritage rainforest area.
As the name suggests, the park lies on the Queensland/New South Wales border north of Kyogle and west of Murwillumbah.

There are two points of entry:
One at Barkers Vale (Jerrapark provides backpacking,  farm-stay on Willams Road in Barkers Vale).
The other from the Wiangaree turn-off on the Kyogle-Woodenbong Road. The southern section of the Drive is steep, so to save car brakes and to increase your overall enjoyment of the trip, visitors are advised to enter the Park from the Barkers Vale turn-off.
The 60 km drive from Park entry to Park exit can be undertaken in 5-6 hours, allowing for a leisurely pace and stops to enjoy views, short walks and tea or picnic breaks.

Bar Mountain Picnic Area
is set amongst moss-clad Antarctic Beech trees and is the first picnic area when entering from the Barkers Vale turn-off. Two walking tracks are provided here, one short rainforest walk, the other a longer walk around the scenic western scarps of Bar Mountain.
Three and a half kilometres further along the Drive a roadside stops looks across to the 150 m sheer drop of Collins Creek Falls.

Blackbutts Picnic Area
less than a kilometre further along the Drive, provides breathtaking views of the Tweed Valley and Mount Warning. This presents a graphic lesson in geological evolution. Before you are the eroded remains of a once huge volcano formed as a result of massive outpourings of lava. The lava flowed out layer after layer over a landscape that stretched from Mount Tamborine in the north to Lismore in the south. Twenty million years of erosion by water carved out this basin-shaped landlord, the largest erosion caldera in the world, with Mount Warning the remnant magna chamber.

The Pinnacle Lookout
7.7 km north of Blackbutts Picnic Area, is reached by a short walk of 5 minutes through dense moss-hung rainforest, to the very edge of the sheer-sided finger of volcanic rock known as the pinnacle.
An incredible experience for those with a good head for heights. After travelling another 4 km, turn left and proceed a further 4.3 km. Here you can either turn left to Forest Tops Camping Area, or right onto a one-way loop road.

Brindle Creek Picnic Area
1.7 km along the one-way loop provides facilities and short loop walks that wind through forest beside the creek.
The walking track to Antarctic Beech Picnic Area starts here. This 3-hour walk through lush rainforest meanders along the creek past several waterfalls before ending at the Antarctic Beech Picnic Area.

Antarctic Beech Picnic Area
5 km further along the Drive provides plenty of open space and short walks amongst gnarled Antarctic Beech forest. Here the outlook is north over Grady's Creek and the New South Wales/Queensland border to the rainforest-clad slops of Lamington Plateau.
The main starting point for the Brindle Creek walk is found here.

Tweed Valley Lookout
1.8 km further along the Drive, is another spectacular caldera viewpoint.
At the next intersection a left turn will take you back to the Murwillumbah Road. A right turn takes you to Forest Tops Camping Area.

Forest Tops
provides overnight camping facilities, where an all-weather cooking galley is situated in a grassy forest clearing. Intending campers are advised to pack a small gas or fuel stove as moist conditions mean that firewood provided is often damp and difficult to light.

Sheep Station Creek Camping Area
found near the park boundary is a spacious area set among eucalypts and is suitable for family stopovers.
However, due to the steep grades caravans and buses must be left here and day trips made up into the Park. An extensive walking track network starts here.
From Sheep Station Creek the Drive takes you to the junction of Symes Road, which joins the scenic Lion's Road to Brisbane. If returning south, excellent views of the Tweed Range can be seen along the road to Wiangaree and Kyogle.
