The Queensland government established this national park in 1972 to protect natural ecosystems. In 2001, additional protected areas were designated to expand conservation efforts.
The park takes its name from Ivan Mazepa, a historical figure immortalized in Lord Byron's literary works. Visitors can discover this literary connection while exploring the landscape.
