The park is split across the south-eastern corner of the locality of Iveragh and the south-western corner of the locality of Foreshores,[2] 407 kilometres (253 mi) northwest of Brisbane. The vegetation in the park is predominantly open eucalypt woodland.[3] There are also some stands of hoop pine.
Mount Castle Tower can be seen from Lake Awoonga. The park has limited access with permission required from Gladstone Area Water Board to cross their property.[3] There are no facilities for visitors.

gollark: Or, well, with a user API somewhat like how modems work even though the implementation details are totally different.
