The Channon is about 25 km west of Lismore and 35 km inland from the coast at Ballina. There is no public transport to The Channon — you need a car. From Lismore, drive south on the Bangalow Road then take the Nimbin Road west, turning off at The Channon Road. The drive takes around thirty minutes on winding country roads through farmland and forest.
From the Pacific Motorway (M1) at Ballina, head inland on the A1 toward Lismore, then follow signs for Dunoon and The Channon. The nearest airports are Ballina Byron Gateway (BNK) and Lismore Regional (LSY). The area is part of the Northern Rivers hinterland that includes Nimbin, Mullumbimby, and the Nightcap Range — most visitors combine a trip to The Channon with wider exploration of the region.
Market day (second Sunday of each month) sees significant traffic on the approach roads from Lismore. Arrive early or expect to queue for parking.
