Manton Dam Recreation Area

Manton Dam Recreation Area protects some of the most remarkable landscapes in the lush Top End — ancient Kakadu wetlands, thundering Litchfield waterfalls, and some of the most biodiverse landscapes on the planet. Walking through this park, you're treading on country that Aboriginal people have cared for over 65,000 years. Ancient rock formations, unique wildlife, and the raw beauty of untouched Australia await. Check road conditions before visiting — some areas are seasonal access only. Carry water, wear sturdy shoes, and start walks early to beat the heat.
