Marked walking tracks in the park vary in duration from half an hour to whole-day walks, are of varying difficulty and are located in a range of landscapes including rainforest, lowland woodlands, wetlands, and stone country. Opportunities for overnight bushwalks are provided in the stone country of the park. These are undertaken along unmarked routes that have been identified by Bininj/Mungguy. Due to seasonal flooding, many day walks and overnight bushwalks are inaccessible during the wet season.

Under the EPBC Regulations, walking off a public road or track is prohibited. During the life of the fifth plan, permits were required for all overnight walks. Daily and/or monthly limits apply on the number of bushwalkers for each of the overnight bushwalking routes.
