The two parks and the adjoining Girraween National Park in Queensland are of regional conservation significance as they provide protection for the most diverse range of plant and animal communities found in the granite belt, as well as several species and communities endemic to the area.
They also contain spectacular landscape features such as Bald Rock, a huge granite dome, and the magnificent Boonoo Boonoo Falls, both of which are major visitor attractions to the area. The parks provide a range of nature-based recreational opportunities including vehicle based camping and bush walking.
