Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge) National Park consists of 13 natural gorges which the Katherine River has carved through sandstone. The Park is owned by the Jawoyn Aboriginal people and managed jointly with the Parks and Wildlife Commission of the Northern Territory. The Nitmiluk Visitor Centre should be the starting point of your visit. A scenic flight over the Park by helicopter or plane is a wonderful way to see the magnitude and beauty of the gorges. Boat cruises give another perspective on the waterways. Your tour guide will give a commentary on the history and features of the gorge.

There are numerous short walking trails to follow as well as some very long adventure walks for experienced hikers. All walkers must register at the Visitor Centre before attempting any walks. The trails lead to Aboriginal art sites, spectacular waterfalls, cascades and lookouts. You can use your private boat or canoe on the gorge but check on the regulations first. Fishing is a popular pastime but only with lures. There is a camping area and canoe hire.
