Speewah Conservation Park

Nestled within tranquil rainforest on the western border of Barron Gorge National Park, Speewah Conservation Park offers a serene retreat just 42 kilometers northwest of Cairns. Visitors can enjoy tent camping in an open grassy area fringed by rainforest trees, with facilities including picnic tables, gas barbecues, and wheelchair-accessible toilets and cold showers. The park serves as a trailhead for long-distance hikes through Barron Gorge National Park, providing access to the Smith and Douglas tracks. A day-use area with barbecue facilities and platform tables near the creek enhances the park's appeal. Camping permits are required and fees apply.
