Explore the natural landscape
Rainforest, volcanic crater lakes, waterfalls, wetlands and mountain country are protected across national parks and conservation areas throughout the Atherton Tablelands.
Walk beneath the canopy in Wooroonooran National Park, swim and picnic beside Lake Eacham in Crater Lakes National Park, or follow the short rainforest track to the deep volcanic crater at Mount Hypipamee. Around Malanda and the southern Atherton Tablelands, conservation parks protect waterfalls, waterways and habitat for native wildlife.
Some places are easy to visit for an hour or two, while others have walking tracks that deserve much longer. Check current park and track conditions before setting out, pack water and suitable footwear, and allow time to explore beyond the car park.
