Epping Forest is a national park in Queensland, Australia, 855 km northwest of Brisbane. The park is a scientific national park so it is not open to the public. Only scientists, rangers and volunteers may visit the park. The park lies within the Brigalow Belt North bioregion. It is within the Drummond Basin geological basin and the Belyando River water catchment area.
Restricted access is used to ensure Epping Forest remains very much undisturbed as it is the sole remaining natural habitat of the northern hairy-nosed wombat. The last census of the animal, undertaken in 2007, estimated there was a population of about 138 of the species.
The elevation of the terrain in Epping Forest Park is 230 metres.
