Intending to bushwalk away from the formed tracks?

• Obtain a topographic map.
• Ask for advice before setting off.
• Never walk alone.
• Ensure you carry enough drinking water.
• Keep an eye on the time! Allow 15–20min to walk 1km—this is the estimated walking time for people of average fitness and bushwalking experience, and who are wearing correct footwear.

Boating

The coastal waters adjacent to Eurimbula National Park are within the Great Barrier Reef Coast Marine Park. Please ensure you are aware of the marine park zones and their restrictions before you go boating.

• Explore Eurimbula Creek by boat or canoe at high tide.
• Care must be taken as the creek has a flat, sandy bottom with a broadly meandering channel not navigable at low tide.
• Boat ramps are located at the Seventeen Seventy marina on Round Hill Creek.

Fishing

Coastal areas bordering the park are part of the Great Barrier Reef Coast and Great Barrier Reef marine parks—make sure you know the zones.

• For detailed zoning maps and information visit the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority.
• Crabbing is not permitted in Eurimbula Creek. For details view the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries Eurimbula Creek fisheries regulated waters map.
• In camping areas, treat all refuse from fish cleaning as rubbish and remove it from the park.
• On the beach, all refuse from fish cleaning, including offal, scales and unused bait, should be buried at least 30cm deep, below the high tide line.

Viewing wildlife and wildflowers

• Photograph wildflowers in spring.
• Bring your binoculars and a bird field guide to help you identify Eurimbula's diverse bird life.
