Located in the rugged landscape of the Great Dividing Range in New South Wales, Washpool National Park forms a continuous conservation corridor with the Gibraltar Ranges National Parks, enhancing the ecological connectivity of the region.<ref name=":2">{{Cite journal |last1=Hunter |first1=John |last2=Sheringham |first2=Paul |date=January 2008 |title=Vegetation and diversity at Gibraltar Range and southern Washpool National Parks |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/279916477 |journal=Cunninghamia |volume=10 |issue=3 |pages=439–474}}</ref> The Gwydir Highway runs through Washpool National Park and the Gibraltar Ranges National Parks, connecting the inland plateau with the coastal area.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |last=Kati |date=2019-11-11 |title=Guide to Gibraltar Range and Washpool National Parks [2025] |url=https://queenslandandbeyond.com/guide-gibraltar-range-washpool-national-park/ |access-date=2025-04-02 |website=Queensland and Beyond |language=en-AU}}</ref>

As a result of millions of years of geological activity, the park is characterized by dense forests, steep cliffs and deep river valleys that attract many visitors. The Dandara Granite Plateau reaches the western boundary of the park when The Demon Fault, a major geological feature, drops abruptly into the Cooraldooral Creek Valley.

Dandahra, Coombadjha and Grassy Creeks flow through the park, forming waterfalls and supporting lush riparian rainforests.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Lyrebird Falls walking track {{!}} Learn more |url=https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/walking-tracks/lyrebird-falls-walking-track/learn-more |access-date=2025-04-02 |website=NSW National Parks |language=en}}</ref> Flora, including some of the largest remaining subtropical rainforests in Australia, benefit from the sheltered gullies and high elevation plateaus, and these river systems also maintain the diversity of the park's ecosystems.
