[ The Park takes its name from Popran Creek which rises in the locality of Central Mangrove and then flows for approximately 24 km in a mostly southern direction until it reaches Mangrove Creek. Popran Creek flows through the Glenworth Valley, also known as the Popran Valley. The average elevation of the terrain is 135 meters.
The Aboriginal heritage is felt at every step, so a historical connection with this land cannot be avoided.
Various types of recreation are available here, from horse riding, mountain biking, fishing, picnicking and bird watching.]
