Nitmiluk Gorge, a deep [[gorge]] carved through ancient [[sandstone]] by the Katherine River, is the central attraction of the park. Nitmiluk Gorge is made up of thirteen gorges, with rapids and falls, and follow the Katherine River, which begins in Kakadu.  During the Dry, roughly from April to October, the Nitmiluk Gorge waters are placid in most spots and ideal for swimming and canoeing. There may be [[freshwater crocodile]]s in most parts of the river, as they nest along the banks, but they are harmless to humans. [[Saltwater crocodile]]s regularly enter the river during the [[wet season]], when the water levels are very high, and are subsequently removed and returned to the lower levels at the onset of the [[dry season]]. Thus, swimming in the wet season is prohibited. Cruises of various lengths go as far as the fifth gorge.

The gorge hosted the final challenge and the finish line of ''[[The Amazing Race Australia 4]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://tvblackbox.com.au/tvrecaps/2019/12/3/recap-newlyweds-tim-and-rod-crowned-the-winners-of-the-amazing-race-australia-amazingraceau|title=RECAP Newlyweds Tim and Rod crowned the winners of THE AMAZING RACE AUSTRALIA #AmazingRaceAU|work=TV Blackbox|date=December 3, 2019|access-date=December 27, 2019}}</ref>
