The park lies within the Hunter Valley Important Bird Area.South of the national park is the separate Werakata State Conservation Area.Originally called Lower Hunter National Park, the Werakata National Park was created on 26 February 1999 with land that had previously been part of the Cessnock State Forest (State Forest No. 874, 1130 hectares). On 1 January 2003, the park was expanded with more land from the former Cessnock State Forest (478 hectares) and also Aberdare State Forest (State Forest No. 981, 531 hectares).
