The Indonesian national park is 2,180 km2[1] covering both lowland and montane forests (200 to 2,610 meters above mean sea level).

[4] The easiest access to visit the national park is from Palu to Kamarora (50 kilometers in 2.5 hours drive).

Due to up to 4,000 mm of rainfall per year in the southern part of the national park, the best time to visit is from July to September.

Reptiles and amphibians include the gold snake (Elaphe erythrura and E. janseni) and Sulawesian toad (Ingerophrynus celebensis).

[1] Deforestation as result of illegal logging and land encroachment for agricultural activities is one of the main threats to the park.

[11] Since 2000, the Indonesian-German Collaborative Research Center "STORMA" (Stability of the Rainforest Margin in Indonesia) is intensively investigating Lore Lindu National Park and its buffer zone.

This estimate was based on a methodology involving propensity score matching rather than the conventional satellite image comparison.

[13] To boost tourism, the Lore Lindu National Park decided to develop access road, electricity, clean water and resorts for visitors who visit the breeding ground for Maleo birds Macrocephalon maleo and the Tambing Lake.
