Description

Located in Far North Queensland, Australia, Mount Lewis National Park is a pristine natural wilderness encompassing both the Shire of Mareeba and Douglas Shire.

The park is adjacent to the Daintree and Mount Spurgeon National Parks and is part of the Wet Tropics of Queensland and Einasleigh Uplands bioregions. The park lies within the catchment areas of three rivers, Mitchell, Mossman, and Daintree. This national park preserves a part of the Mount Carbine Tableland that offers picturesque views of landscapes primarily covered by forest.

Encounter the rare and threatened species that call Mount Lewis National Park their home. 43 rare and threatened species, including the Mount Lewis spiny crayfish (an endemic species), are found at Mount Lewis National Park. Along with the golden bowerbirds, blue-faced parrotfinch, giant blue earthworms, cinereus ringtail possum, masked white-tailed rat, red-bellied black snake, and several unique frogs, the park offers visitors an unparalleled opportunity to experience the diverse wildlife that thrives in this ecosystem. In February 2017, a small population of endangered northern bettongs was discovered in the National Park, making this park a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts.

The park offers four-wheel driving and trail-bike riding for thrill-seekers. Several clearings along Mount Lewis Road have been identified as perfect locations to spot a vast variety of birds. Visitors can immerse themselves in the park's natural beauty by engaging in bird-watching, flora and fauna observation.
