National Parks and Reserves

Bemm River Scenic Reserve protects a pocket of warm temperate rainforest, the drier eucalypt forest and other significant plant communities. The paved Rainforest Walk at the junction of the Bemm and McKenzie rivers enables visitors to experience a rainforest river valley, its secrets of survival and the creatures it harbours.

Bemm River Scenic Reserve, or the McKenzie River Rainforest Walk as it is affectionately referred to by locals, offers visitors a stunning rainforest experience. The walk meanders through a spectacular pocket of Warm Temperate Rainforest. The Rainforest Walk is approximately one-kilometre-long and consists of sealed pathways, boardwalks and swing bridges. The walk takes about 45 minutes to complete at a relaxed pace. Information boards along the walk guide visitors through the reserve and highlight the unique and wonderful flora and fauna found within it.
