Located 350 kilometres north east of Derby this park is very remote. It encompasses an area of 115,325 Ha. Access is from the Kalumburu Road and is 4wd only.

Mitchell Falls and Surveyor's Pool are the two main reasons people visit the park.

 

Just south of the Mitchell River National Park is Prince Regent Nature Reserve. Other parks and reserves in this area include Lawley River (17,572 Ha), Camp Creek (1,267 Ha) and Laterite Conservation Park (12,191 Ha).

 

This park is difficult to access so many people choose to see it from the air by chartering a small plane or helicopter from Derby.
