Bladensburg National Park

Bladensburg National Park extends across 849 square kilometers of grassland plains, river flats, sandstone ranges, and flat-topped mesas in northwestern Queensland.

Established in 1984, this former sheep station became a protected area managed by the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service to preserve local ecosystems.

The land holds deep connections to the Koa people, with the park containing Aboriginal story places, ceremonial grounds, and the historical Skull Hole site.

Visitors can camp beside Surprise Creek, explore walking tracks, and use picnic facilities, though they should bring water supplies due to limited availability.

The park contains geological formations from ancient riverbeds, while Scrammy Gorge provides views across Mitchell Grass Downs and Channel Country landscapes.
