凯瑟琳地区的自然公园，可不仅仅是自然保护区那么简单——在这里，游客可以露营、划船、游泳，并游览一些澳大利亚的顶级步道。

自然公园的定义是：繁育动植物群、并向公众开放的保护区——而对于北领地的自然公园，你可能会添加一些因素：可以露营、划船、游泳，以及拥有澳大利亚一些顶级步道。

在凯瑟琳地区，有一些运营良好的自然公园，它们体现了该地区自然环境的多元性和野生动物的多样化。在这里，有六座公园、十几座自然公园、自然保护区和保护地供您选择。

在海湾地区，有偏远的巴若伊国家公园（Barranyi National Park）（又名北岛国家公园），这里有原始的海洋环境和迷人的鸟类；而在吉普河国家公园中，则遍布参天耸立的砂岩地貌。从巴若伊到吉普河，有许多胜景让您观赏和体验。

游览路径和步道

尼特米鲁克国家公园在凯瑟琳东北面，距离凯瑟琳仅30公里，是一处很受欢迎的旅游景点。壮丽的凯瑟琳峡谷便坐落于此。这一处独特的自然地貌，是由凯瑟琳河（Katherine River）从古代砂岩中冲刷出来的，可以乘船进行近距离观赏。

纪特布拉路径（Jatbula Trail）也在尼特米鲁克国家公园中，这是一条季节性游览路径，从尼特米鲁克通往利乐琳（Leliyn，即伊迪丝瀑布（Edith Falls））。这处路径绵延60公里，全程需要五天多时间。它的独特之处在于，每处露营地都有美丽的游泳水潭，沿途还点缀着引人入胜的周恩族岩画。

探险类公园

格雷戈里国家公园适合勇敢的旅行者。这里有穿越峡谷和沙漠的路径，相互联通，适合四驱车辆行驶。石灰岩谷（Limestone Gorge）则是另一处受欢迎的旅行点，这里是钓鱼、徒步和划皮筏艇的最佳地点。而在园内一些更偏远的地区，四驱驾驶丛林露营地也已建设完成。

护林员提示

从五月到八九月间的干燥季节，这些自然公园的环境是最舒适的。如果您想进行四驱驾驶或多日远足，则务必在出发前向当地护林员报到并登记。
