Watagan Mountains (NP) Medium (4WD recommended)	The Watagan ranges has a range of well-maintained roads, as well as more difficult tracks for serious 4WD-driving. As well as plentiful wild-life, there are many walking tracks, look-outs and camping sites that make the area ideal for short and longer trips.  it is possible to traverse tthe Watagans from Cooranbong (via Martinsville), emerging  at Laguna in the Wollombi Valley. This route takes in Boarding House Dam, where a short forest walk is well worth the effort.
Yengo NP (Easy to Hard)	Yengo National Park is a wild area of steep gorges and rocky ridges. It forms part of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage area, and well as its natural beauty the Old Great North Road (or Convict Trail) follows the south-east boundary of the park. A number of routes provides access to the Yengo National Park: Finchley Trig offers 360-degree views over the park, with a viewing platform and interpretation board, and a well-peserved aborginal engarving site nearby. In dry conditions Finchley Trig is accessible by 2WD from Laguna, via Yango Creek Road and then Upper Yango Creek road (approx 10km dirt road) Mogo Creek Road provides a scenic drive from St Albans to Bucketty, passing through picturesque St Albans countryside with extensive wetlands, and the historic Deans Quarry and Mogo Creek picnic area (mostly unsealed; suitable for 2WD) Devils Rock (or Burragurra) is an aboriginal site located on a rocky plateau also provides excellent views in all directions, including Mt Wareng to the north and Mt Yengo to the north-west. It is accessed by Yango Creek Road, then the Boree Track (17km dirt road - can be rough and 4Wd recommended) Crossing Yengo NP is possible via two routes, one from either Wisemans Ferry or Laguna (Boree Track and Yengo Track) and the other from Paynes Crossing, just north of Wollombi (Old Settlers Road). Both routes take you to Howes Valley on The Putty Road, and 4WD is essential. A short detour to the former Big Yengo  Staion, at the base of Mt Yengo, is a recommended detour.
