With streams, waterfalls, and wild life enhancing its magnificent scenery, the park's major attractions are follows:
Namtok Huai To
Located approximately 500 meters from the Park's office, this waterfall flows over rocks into 11 huge pools, each with their own name, such as Wang Thewada, Wang Sok, and Wang Chan.
