Minerva Hills National Park consists of a dramatic volcanic landscape with flat-topped hills. For keen, experienced bushwalkers wildlife viewing and bird watching are prevalent. Scenic Mt Zamia overlooks Springsure and spectacular jagged peaks provide a scenic backdrop.

In the grassy open woodlands, mountain coolibah, silver-leaved ironbark and gum-topped bloodwood tower over macrozamias and grasstrees. Dry rainforest with figs, stinging trees, pittosporums and vines flourishes in sheltered gorges and at the base of the sheer cliffs. Spinifex grasslands dotted with wattles grow on the summit. The park also supports spotted gum forests and low-lying heath.
