Euglah Rock walking track is very popular with those camping in Mount Kaputar National Park, but it's suitable for all ages and walks of life. The path is dotted with educational signs explaining animal tracks and traces. If you're visiting after rain, you will be accompanied by a soothing soundtrack of waterfalls crashing nearby.
