It is part of both the North Burnett Region and South Burnett Region local government areas and the Brigalow Belt bioregion.[2] The park lies within the catchment area of the Boyne River, a tributary of the Burnett River.

Beeron National Park is home to six endemic species and three plants with conservation significance.[1]

In 2010, an extra 7,000 hectares significantly extended the size of the park.[3] The addition was made possible by the cooperation of two mining companies who relinquished their mining permits.[4]

South and west of the national park is Allies Creek State Forest. It is undeveloped with no visitor facilities.
