The forested terrain of Don Khuntan National Park attains a maximum elevation of 1,363 m (4,472 ft). The topography is one of granite formations. There are at least two forest trails in the park.

Don Khuntan National Park holds the distinction of being the only national park in Thailand with its own railway station. It also is home to Thailand's longest tunnel. That 1.3km tunnel, constructed between 1907 and 1918, is for the train to pass through before arriving at the Khuntan Railway Station. There is a monument at the entrance to the tunnel commemorating those who died in its construction.

Don Khuntan National Park is best visited during the cool season why the area is dry and easy to trek.
