[7][8][9] The conservation park was located about 7.5 kilometres (4.7 miles) east of the town of Port Germein in the gazetted locality of Telowie,[10][2] and occupied 19.76 km2 (7.63 sq mi).

In 2010, the conservation park was described by its managing authority as follows:[12] Home to a colony of yellow-footed rock-wallabies, Telowie Gorge Conservation Park features some of the most dramatic scenery in the Southern Flinders Ranges.

Today, the gorge creates a rich variety of habitats for animals and plants from both the southern temperate and arid regions.

[10][12] The conservation park was classified as an IUCN Category III protected area,[1] and was last managed by the South Australian Department for Environment and Water (DEW).
