The name is borrowed from Beedelup Brook , a name for a stream. The local Aborigines of the Noongar , the traditional owners of this area, use beedelup for a place to sleep or for a quiet area.

The main attraction of the park is the 100 meter high Beedelup Falls , which falls over granite rock and forms the Beedelup Brook . However, the stream does not carry water all year round. In 1995 a suspension bridge was built over the Beedelup Falls . But there is also a viewing platform that allows a view over the waterfall.

The park is wooded. Mainly karri trees grow in it up to a height of 90 meters. But there are also jarrah and marri trees . The forest floor is covered with large colonies of moss, on which bushes and small trees also grow.

Through the national park runs part of the Karri Forest Explorer Drive , a 85-kilometer drivable path that also leads to the Gloucester Tree , Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree , Gloucester National Park , the Cascades , Warren National Park , Warren River and the Big Brook Dam leads.
