Cudmirrah National Park surrounds the northern and western edges of Swan Lake and extends southward to Monument Beach. It covers an area of approximately 2,300 hectares. Wildlife is abundant. There are more than 160 species of birds inhabiting this area along with over a dozen threatened species. The park contains a variety of habitats including woodlands, heath, tall forest and freshwater swamps.

During spring there is an impressive display of wildflowers including waratah's, wattles and golden glory pea. Many ground orchids such as double tails and sun orchids can also be seen. In Winter several species of banksia are in flower.

Cudmirrah has many scenic attractions - from tranquil Swan Lake, to the heath lands along the coast. Bush walking, bird watching, fishing, canoeing or just enjoying a picnic are some of the favourite activities.

The main visitor areas within the park are located at Monument Beach and at Fisherman's Rock on Berrara Creek.
