17,273ha.
Situated on the New England plateau at an altitude of around 1200m, this is a region of wild mountain scenery, with deep gorges containing waterfalls up to 240m high and huge granite buttresses, and a wide range of vegetation, from arid heath and marshland to rain forest. There is an exhibition of Aboriginal artifacts in the visitor center.
The Gwydir Highway, which divides the park into two parts, was indirectly the occasion for the establishment of the park in 1963. From the highway a road runs to Mulligan's Hut (picnic areas). The park is the starting point of many walking trails.
