It is well sign posted and has a good surface and bridges across potential wetland areas which is maintained by volunteers.

The Manning Entrance State Park comprises lands surrounding and including the Manning River's southern entrance at Old Bar.

The 487 hectare site runs from Old Bar to the southern side of the Manning River's northern entrance at Manning Point and features a caravan park, primitive camping ground, sporting fields and historic airstrip.

Manning Entrance State Park encompasses a range of vegetation communities and habitats including forests, woodlands, shrub lands and heaths as well as special environments such as coastal wetlands and littoral rainforests.

The vulnerable plant Thesium australe (Austral Toadflax) has been identified in the Old Bar area.

In line with the varied vegetation types there is a diverse range of fauna found with the park including many threatened species.

The endangered Little Tern has been using Crown land north of Old Bar in the Farquhar Inlet and Manning Point areas for breeding and fledgling sites.

The estuary around the Old Bar entrance provides food and shelter for a variety of wetland birds and waders.

Meanwhile a study has found that a group of Aleutian terns that are not usually found in Australia attracted hundreds of birders to Old Bar's Farquhar Inlet in late 2017, resulting in a significant boost to the Australian economy. Read story here
