The Mary River National Park (proposed) protects a part of the Mary River Catchment. Freshwater billabongs, paperbark and monsoon forests provide visitors with excellent opportunities for wildlife watching, fishing, bushwalking and photography.
The Mary River is one of eight rivers in the Top End which have large floodplains in their catchments. The Arnhem Highway takes you across five of the eight rivers as you travel between Darwin and Jabiru.
