It lies just beside the main road between Rockhampton and Yeppoon. Camping is not permitted in the park and there are no facilities.[3]

The main feature of the park is Baga, a trachyte plug which is a remnant of an extinct volcano.[3]

The Darumbal people have traditionally regarded Baga as a significance place in their Dreamtime stories.[3]

Many species of birds can be found in the park, most notably in Hedlow Creek lagoons, where they come to drink water, such as striated pardalotes, squawking rainbow lorikeets and Lewin's honeyeaters.[4]
