Payne's Creek National Park is a nature reserve in the Toledo District of southern Belize.

The park encompasses 37,680 acres (152 km2) of land including the dominant broadleaf forest as well as mangrove areas.

[2] This national park, which stretches along the lower reaches of the Monkey River, was previously disturbed by banana farming and slash-and-burn agricultural practices; however, in 2007 a verdant broadleaf secondary forest provides habitat for a diverse tropical flora and fauna.

[3] The excavations of submerged Mayan saltworks at the Payne's Creek National Park, dating back to 300–900 AD, highlight the usage of stone tools for cutting meat or fish, salting and preserving them within wooden kitchens, in order to be transported to inland markets.
