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, lookouts and camping sites that make the area ideal for short and longer trips. It is possible to traverse the 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.
