Lisdale State Forest​

Topo Map: Lithgow 8931-3S

Heading East from Rydal Cemetery leads to a steep, well-graded descent followed by a very steep, awkward climb. Cemetery Road leads North through the Central Tablelands Mountain Bike Club's trails then easy riding along the railway, park boundary or through the plantation.

Enter Sugarmans Road from the Great Western Highway at the North of the Park. Track South crossing the Coxs River. Mount Walker is closed to traffic for development of the Lake Lyell Pumped Hydro Project, but is accessible by foot.
