==Location and features== Declared on {{start date|1979|04|26|df=y}}, much of the park is classified as wilderness area, where vehicles are unable to visit.<ref name=mgmtplan/> Within the national park is the Little River Gorge, Victoria's deepest gorge, with the [[Little River (Snowy River National Park)|Little River]] descending {{convert|610|m}} off the Wulgulmerang plateau over {{convert|14|km}} to the [[Snowy River]] at an elevation of {{convert|122|m}} [[Australian Height Datum|above sea level]]. The park provides one of the last natural habitats at the Little River Gorge for the endangered [[brush-tailed rock wallaby]]. Numbers for this species are estimated as extremely small, with the rugged terrain making it difficult to accurately monitor the species population. Over 250 native species have been recorded in the park, 29 of which are considered rare or threatened in Victoria, including the [[long-footed potoroo]], [[spotted quoll]] (tiger quoll), [[giant burrowing frog]] and ''Cyclodomorphus michaeli''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://parkweb.vic.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0020/315641/Park-note-Snowy-River-National-Park.pdf|title=Snowy River National Park: park notes|department=[[Parks Victoria]]|publisher=Government of Victoria|date=November 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140103033103/http://parkweb.vic.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0020/315641/Park-note-Snowy-River-National-Park.pdf|archive-date=3 January 2014}}</ref> McKillops Road is the northern park boundary, with the [[Alpine National Park]] to the north of the road. The road is designated unsuitable for caravans, trailers and semi-trailers due to its long, narrow, and steep descent down to McKillops Bridge which crosses the Snowy River near its juncture with the Deddick River. The park is also located adjacent to the [[Errinundra National Park]], the [[Coopracambra National Park]], and the nearby [[Croajingolong National Park]] and [[Cape Conran Coastal Park]].<ref name=mgmtplan/>
