In 2023, many of the park's facilities were damaged by heavy flooding when the Fitzroy River rose {{cvt|15|m}}, and the river itself was changed permanently in some places. The park had to be closed, and a recovery plan has been undertaken, with hopes to reopen the park sometime in 2024.<ref name=flood>{{cite web | last=Murphy | first=Hannah | title=Kimberley's Danggu Geikie Gorge National Park expected to reopen to visitors this year after flood disaster | website=ABC News | date=29 January 2024 | url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-01-29/geikie-danggu-gorge-recovery-project/103389308 | access-date=30 January 2024}}</ref>
