While larger [[kangaroo]]s remain, significant populations of smaller marsupials have been devastated by [[fox]]es, [[feral cats]] and dogs in this park.

Drought and [[Phytophthora cinnamomi|dieback]] have affected the [[jarrah]] forest within the park.  At the edges of the park, introduced species of weed and problematic vegetation threaten the integrity of the park.  In some areas wildflowers remain a feature to the edge of the internal roads despite the changes.<ref>{{Citation | author1=Armstrong, P | author2=Muir, B | title=Visual perception of conservation value: the distribution of flora in John Forrest National Park. -Western Australia- | journal=Journal of Environmental Management | date=April 1988 | volume=26 | issue=3 | pages=221–228 | url=http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/39135169 | access-date=3 November 2016 }}</ref>

Also with rationalising of staff within the [[Department of Environment and Conservation (Western Australia)|Department of Environment and Conservation]] management, earlier levels of staffing on parks such as this one have been reduced to minimal levels.

Significant damaging bushfires occurred in the western and northern sections of the park in the 1990s and early 2000s.  In November 2010 a bushfire, believed to have been deliberately lit, damaged a significant area of the park including part of the Eagle's View trail.

At various stages parts of the park have been accessed by mountain bike activity.<ref>{{Citation | author1=Davies, C | author2=Newsome, D | title=Mountain bike activity in natural areas: impacts, assessment and implications for management: a case study from John Forrest National Park, Western Australia | date=2009 | publisher=CRC for Sustainable Tourism | url=http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/175635514 | access-date=3 November 2016 }}</ref>
