Barron Gorge National Park

The Barron Gorge National Park extends across steep cliffs and dense rainforest terrain, featuring numerous cascading waterfalls along the Barron River system.

The Queensland Department of Environment and Science established this protected area in 2010 to safeguard the natural ecosystems and geological formations within Mareeba Shire.

The land holds deep connections to Aboriginal communities who maintained traditional practices and knowledge of the local environment through generations.

Visitors can access multiple walking trails and observation points throughout the park, with dedicated parking areas and informational signs at main entrances.

The park contains specific zones where threatened tree species grow naturally, providing essential habitats for local bird and reptile populations.
