Yengo National Park is one of eight protected areas that were declared in 2000 to form part of the UNESCO World Heritage–listed Greater Blue Mountains Area. The Yengo National Park is the most north–easterly of the eight protected areas within the World Heritage Site and forms part of the Great Dividing Range.
The Blue Mountains National Park (and surrounding areas along the Great Western Highway) is thought to have over a thousand indigenous heritage sites, although much of the park has not been comprehensively surveyed. The Aboriginal rock sites in the Blue Mountains include grinding grooves, stensils, drawing and rock carvings.
There are sweeping Yengo National Park views from the lookout platform next to the Finchley Trig Station. Allow about 30min on unsealed roads from the Great North Road.
