Litchfield National Park is an aesthetically stunning landscape, shaped by water and time, culturally rich and steeped in history. Come and explore the thundering falls, the walking tracks, rainforest pockets, historic sites, the intriguing magnetic termite mounds, pandanus-lined pools and 4WD tracks.
This Park is spectacular at any time, though most 4WD tracks are closed during the wet season.
Some swimming areas such as Wangi Falls, become unsafe after heavy rain and are closed for swimming but the Wangi Falls Cafe and picnic facilities remain open.
