The Marrakai Conservation Reserve comprises a portion of the Marrakai plains and forms a portion of the catchment and drainage for the Adelaide River.

Just beside Bark Hut you will find the Mary River Crossing Conservation Reserve. The Mary River is a popular spot for barramundi fishing and boating. Its permanent lagoons are dry season homes for many waterbirds and crocodiles.

The area's granite outcrops shelter a variety of interesting animals including the black wallaroo and short-eared rock-wallaby. The Wildman and Shady Camp Reserves are also very close to Bark Hut. They are accessible via a turn off from the Arnhem Highway beyond Bark Hut on your way to Kakadu National Park.
