Lynchs Loop Trail is a circuit walk in Weddin Mountains National Park. It starts past Ben Halls Campground and offers great views towards Forbes and birdwatching opportunities. After rainfall, you may come across some ponds along the Small Basin gully as well. Come springtime, the blooming wildflowers heighten your chances of seeing more bird species. Let us begin by acknowledging the Wiradjuri people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
