Adjacent lands with significant conservation values are included within the scope of this plan.

The park straddles the lower reaches of the Murchinson River, and includes the Murchison River Gorge, renowned for Nature’s Window, cliff-dominated coastlines, and sandplains seasonally covered in wildflowers.

The park features many Aboriginal heritage sites including artefacts, mythological places, paintings, a quarry and midden sites. Since publication of this plan, the Nanda people have been formally recognised as Traditional Owners of an area which includes parts of Kalbarri National Park.
