Camping near Orange with horseback riding guide
Overview
It’s long been known for its cool climate wines, but a growing list of acclaimed restaurants has really put Orange on the map in recent times. Just 3.5 hours’ drive west of Sydney, it’s a sought-after destination for a weekend getaway in NSW. Spend a few days touring the wineries and cellar doors, sample the fresh local produce, and get out and about to discover the many nature experiences in the area reserves and conservation areas.
Where to go
Orange Heritage Trail
Discover the town’s beautifully restored historic houses, buildings and key sites on The Orange Heritage Trail. The 90-minute walk starts from the Orange Visitor Information Centre with interpretive signs along the route.
Lake Canobolas Reserve
Previously known as Meadow Creek Reservoir, Lake Canobolas was built in 1918 to supply water to Orange. It’s a lovely place to go walking, cycling, swimming, fishing or canoeing. There’s also a playground on the eastern bank for kids, picnic areas, barbecues and a waterfront café.
Mount Canobolas State Conservation Area
Pack a picnic lunch and go hiking or birdwatching in this scenic park, formed by a dormant volcano. Treks include a walk to Federal Falls waterfall, the Orange View Lookout or the Snowgum Walking Track.
Pinnacle Reserve and Lookout
At sunrise or sunset, the view from the top of Towac Pinnacle over the valley below is one to remember. The reserve also has picnic shelters and barbecues.
When to go
Orange’s cool climate means it’s not too hot in summer, with temperatures peaking at around 21°C in January. In winter it can be a little chilly, averaging around 5°C in July. The vibrant autumn colours make March and April a lovely time to visit. The Orange F.O.O.D Week festival also runs over ten days in April, making it a fun time to go.
