Castle Tower National Park is aptly named as it consists of towering granite cliffs flanked by two large granite outcrops. Open eucalypt woodland with a shrubby heath understorey covers most of the mountain. The heath contains plants found locally, such as the Byfield spider grevillea Grevillea venusta, which is threatened with extinction. Dry rainforest scrub grows along gullies and creeks. The park is the southern limit of white gum Eucalyptus platyphylla.
