Howard Springs Nature Park

The 283-hectare park is right outside Palmerston and a short drive from Darwin. It is a small piece of a nature reserve that has been preserved in nature and is located in an area with a high level of development.

Howard Springs Nature Park is a place where visitors can walk, relax, discover and cool off near Darwin. It is maintained as an oasis of bushland for families to ‘get outside’, enjoying a picnic and barbecues, close to local wildlife and aquatic wildlife, such as barramundi and turtles.

Lake Alexander

On a hot smelly day, we visited the East Point Reserve and found this cool body of water but not our swimming gear! Good for SUP, picnicking, hiking and swimming and a nice environment to enjoy during the hot and dry season. Apparently, the only water to swim in without being afraid to be chased by a crocodile! A beautiful lake, there were also people who enjoyed a canoe trip.
