Dense tropical rainforest grows in Cedar Bay National Park, a remote coastal park in the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. Sandy beaches and fringing reefs are backed by rainforest. There are two walking tracks in Cedar Bay National Park, the Home Rule track and the Gap Creek track. The Home Rule track traverses attractive rainforest, ascending and descending steeply before arriving at the northern end of Cedar Bay. The early part of the walk follows an old road and involves several creek crossings. The road narrows to a track before Slaty Creek, then ascends to Black Snake Rocks. The track enters the national park on a ridge that affords a glimpse of the sea and descends steeply along an old tin mining track that leads to the beach. A walk south along the beach will take you to the camping area. The Gap Creek track begins on the eastern side of the Cooktown–Bloomfield Road and heads straight into the national park. Initially the track runs parallel to the road before descending to cross Gap Creek. From Gap Creek the track climbs and descends a number of spurs and crosses several gullies before reaching "Centre Garden", just west of the camping area.
