Tapin Tops National Park is a nature reserve located in the Mid North Coast region of New South Wales, Australia. It spans 110 km2 (42 sq mi) and is known for its stunning natural beauty and diverse range of endangered wildlife species. The park is situated approximately 264 kilometres (164 mi) northeast of Sydney, with Wingham as the nearest town.
It is bordered by the Bulga, Knorrit, and Dingo state forests to the north, south, and southwest, respectively, and shares its border with Killabakh nature reserve to the east.
Access to the park is available via Elands Road, Wherrol Flat Road, Dingo Tops Road, and Knodingbul Road, which are generally accessible by 2WD vehicles from Wingham.
Tapin Tops National Park is home to several threatened species, including the common and little bent-wing bat, greater broad-nosed bat, spotted-tailed quoll, koala, Parma wallaby, red-legged pademelon, glossy black cockatoo, wompoo fruit dove, and powerful owl. Visitors can explore the park's flora and fauna while trekking through the scenic mountain brush circuit, a 15-minute walk through the rainforest.
Scenic lookouts, such as Rowley's Peak, offer panoramic views of the area. The platform at Rowley's Peak provides a 360-degree view, including sights of Taree and the Tasman Sea to the east, the catchment area of Caparra Creek to the southeast, and the forested hinterland toward Nowendoc in the west. The platform is approximately 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) above sea level.
