Russell River National Park, Nature reserve in Cairns Regional, Australia
Russell River National Park contains paperbark forests, mangrove ecosystems, and coastal areas along the waterways of North Queensland.
The Queensland Department of Environment and Science declared this 41-square-kilometer protected area as a national park on July 18, 2008.
The land holds deep connections to Indigenous communities who maintained relationships with this territory before its designation as a national park.
Visitors need camping permits and must carry supplies as the park offers no facilities, while remaining alert for crocodiles near water bodies.
The park forms part of the Coastal Wet Tropics Important Bird Area, supporting populations of tropical rainforest birds in lowland habitats.
