The park covers 75.45 km2 across Gwangju and Jeollanam-do.

The name Mudeungsan means "mountain without equal," and the park's 2013 designation as South Korea's 21st national park followed a 2012 decision announced by the Ministry of Environment. The mountain rises to 1,187 m and gives the park its name. Visitors today walk trails across the 75.45 km2 park, which spans Gwangju and Jeollanam-do.

The park lies across Gwangju's Dong-gu and Buk-gu districts and Damyang and Hwasun counties in Jeollanam-do, so trailheads are reached from several directions, not only the city. The summit of Mudeungsan stands at 1,187 m and is open to hikers. The park covers 75.45 km2, so plan walks by distance and carry water.
