Butterfly Gorge Nature Park

Butterfly Gorge Nature Park is a small protected reserve located about 10 kilometres north of Katherine in the Victoria Daly region of the Northern Territory. Centred on a narrow sandstone gorge with a seasonal waterfall and plunge pool, the park is noted for the common crow butterflies that gather in the gorge during the dry season. It offers short walking access, swimming when conditions allow, and a tranquil natural setting near Katherine.

Visitors can expect a narrow sandstone gorge with steep walls, a seasonal waterfall and a shaded plunge pool at the gorge base. A short walking track leads from the car park to the gorge through savanna woodland. The site is known for large numbers of common crow butterflies clustering in the gorge during the dry season. Swimming may be possible in the dry season when water levels and park advice permit. Facilities are basic and the setting is natural and quiet.
