Cross River National Park, National park in Cross River State, Nigeria
Cross River National Park extends across 720 square kilometers of land from Kanyan to the Obudu plateau, featuring mountains and rolling hills.
The Federal Ministry Government established Cross River National Park in 1991 as part of Nigeria's commitment to protect endangered species and rainforest ecosystems.
Local communities near the park maintain traditional practices of sustainable resource use while acting as environmental custodians through generations.
Visitors access the park through designated entry points where guides lead tours through marked trails during the dry season for optimal wildlife observation.
The park contains two distinct sections: Okwangwo Division in the northeast and Oban Division, which connects with Korup National Park in Cameroon.
