==Facilities== The gorges can be explored by canoe and flat bottomed boat. In the dry season the gorges become separated as the level of the river falls. They are interconnected in the wet. There is a visitor centre located at the Katherine Gorge, about 30 km east of the town of [[Katherine, Northern Territory|Katherine]]. Information displays are set up that explain the geology, landscape and aboriginal history of the national park. Tours can be booked at the centre or at the visitor centre in the town. There are two permanent campgrounds where there are both tent and caravan sites.<ref name="ninapa">{{cite web |url=http://www.parksandwildlife.nt.gov.au/parks/find/nitmiluk |title=Nitmiluk National Park |work=Find a park |publisher=Northern Territory Government |access-date=16 August 2014 }}</ref> Both fires and bush camping are permitted.<ref name="ninapa"/> There are numerous walking tracks in the national park. ===Jatbula Trail=== [[File:Katherine gorge01.jpg|thumb|650px|Panorama of Katherine Gorge]] The [[Jatbula Trail]] follows the route travelled by generations of Jawoyn people between Katherine Gorge and Leliyn.
