Hell's Gate National Park, National park in Rift Valley Province, Kenya.
The park spans 68 square kilometers of terrain with red cliffs, volcanic formations, and deep gorges near Lake Naivasha.
Explorers Fisher and Thomson named the park in 1883 after discovering a narrow gorge that served as an ancient lake tributary.
Local Maasai communities maintain their traditional grazing practices within designated areas of the national park.
The park entrance lies 90 kilometers northwest of Nairobi, with direct road access from the capital to Lake Naivasha.
The Olkaria geothermal station, established in 1981, generates electricity from the park's natural hot springs and geysers.
Inception: 1984
