The national park occupies the central and eastern parts of the locality of Boonooroo Plains and the northern part of Boonooroo.[3] It is 210 km north of Brisbane and 6 km southeast from Maryborough. It is a wildlife refuge with some endangered trees and animals.[2]
Mostly marshy and forested between rivers and the sea, this area has no designated walking trails.[4] However, the park still permits fishing in a designated area at Kalah Creek, and encourages small nature-based activities such as photography. Camping is not allowed in the park.[4]
