With an area of about 20,938 hectares, the national park was established on 8 February 2018, having been upgraded from the former Tà Đùng nature reserve.

The Park includes the highest mountain range in Đắk Nông province, a geographical and biological intersection between the South Central Highlands and the Southeast region: the border between Đắk Nông and Lâm Đồng provinces follows the original course of the river before the lake was created.

The Park also provides protected areas for scientific research, training, sightseeing, eco-tourism, and environmental education.

The National Park was created on the basis of its diverse flora and fauna, thought to include: deer, leopard, primates, peacocks, pheasants, etc.
