A State National Park, the park is managed as one unit under conservation and sustainable development principles.
The park is characterised by extremely rugged and largely inaccessible terrain in the majority of the area, while the eastern section is traversed by the Fish river which has deeply incised into bedrock and now provides the main attraction of the park – the Fish River Canyon.
As a consequence of its location, the park is of great biodiversity importance with important populations of rare and endemic plant species, particularly succulents.
It is also home to the Appolo 11 Cave where Africa's oldest known rock paintings were first excavated in 1969.
