The park has a visitor centre, marked nature trails, campsites and bungalows. Activities centre on hiking, nature study and waterfall viewing. The summit trail to Doi Luang is steep and requires a guide and prior permission, while lower areas offer easier walks and camping grounds.

Established on 16 April 1990 as Thailand's 14th national park to protect the watershed forests of the Wang and Lao rivers and the Doi Luang mountain range. The park was designated to conserve its evergreen and mixed deciduous forests and important wildlife habitats across three provinces.

The park area is traditionally used by local northern Thai communities and is valued for watershed protection and nature-based recreation. It is a well-known destination for trekking and nature education in northern Thailand.
