Overview
Highlights
The Box Vale Picnic Area has picnic tables and barbecues near the track head car park and the lookout beyond the tunnel. Water is not provided at the barbecue areas. Box Vale Walking Track follows the formation of an historic railway line and passes through cuttings, along embankments and through a tunnel 84 metres in length. Although much of the surrounding terrain is steep and rocky, the 4.4 kilometre walking track has easy grades and the return walk takes about three hours.
Maps are available from the Welcome Centre, Mittagong.
