Keep River National Park

Keep River National Park is a protected reserve featuring sandstone cliffs, river valleys, woodlands, and floodplain areas across the Northern Territory. The landscape contains multiple interconnected habitats with varying geological layers and vegetation types throughout its boundaries.

The area contains numerous rock art sites that document thousands of years of human presence in the region. These artistic records show the enduring occupation and connection of Indigenous people to this land over a very long timespan.

The land holds deep meaning for Indigenous communities who maintain connections through stories and teachings passed down over generations. Visitors can join guided walks that explain these living practices and their importance to the region.

The best time to visit is between May and October during the dry season when unsealed roads are easily passable. During the wet season roads can become impassable due to flooding and require careful planning before traveling.

The park forms a natural boundary zone between the Northern Territory and Western Australia with contrasting rock formations and geological features. This location makes it an interesting place to observe how the landscape shifts between two distinct geological regions.
