The Koreelah National Park is a national park in the extreme northeast of the Australian state of New South Wales , 631 km north of Sydney and around 40 km southeast of Warwick (Queensland) in the northern part of the McPherson Range . In the north it borders on the Main Range National Park in Queensland .

There is a campground west of White Swamp Road , about 10 km north of Old Koreelah (on the Mount Lindesay Highway ). It has a dry toilet and some barbecue areas, but the grass there is very high because the cattle have been evicted from there since around 1999.

The main attraction of the national park is a gorge of the Koreelah Creek , a tributary of the Clarence River , directly southwest of this campsite. At the end of this gorge there is a deep water hole surrounded by 4 m high rock walls. From up there you can jump into the water hole. There are larger waterfalls further downstream, but the main part of the gorge can only be reached by climbing ropes from the north. When it is dry, the water is contaminated with algae.

There are also places with Gondwana rainforest in the park. Several endangered bird and wallaby species live there .
