The park contains the protected 'Poiana Narciselor' (Daffodil Meadow), a forest reserve known for its dense seasonal wild daffodil population.
It is one of the few locations in Europe where the Mediterranean pond turtle is found in a northern latitude environment.
The wetland area is formed by the confluence of the Neajlov and Câlniștea rivers.
The Comana Forest is considered a relic of the ancient Codrii Vlăsiei, the vast forest system that once surrounded Bucharest.
The park encompasses a declared Ramsar site, identifying it as a wetland of international importance.
Comana Natural Park is the second-largest wetland area in Romania after the Danube Delta, centered around the Comana Lake and the Neajlov Delta. It hosts over 141 bird species and 19 fish species, making it a primary site for ornithological observation and biodiversity conservation. The park features a complex of forest ecosystems, specifically the Comana Forest, which is a protected scientific reserve containing rare specimens of butcher's broom and peony. Visitors engage in guided boat tours through the canal network to observe protected bird populations and marsh flora. Hiking trails provide access to the Neajlov delta area, characterized by its labyrinth of aquatic vegetation and submerged wood clusters. The park is home to a significant population of the rare Mediterranean pond turtle. It serves as a vital ecological corridor in the Vlasia Plain region near Bucharest.

Bring high-quality binoculars for birdwatching, as key species often remain deep within the reeds.
Wear insect repellent, as the wetland environment supports significant mosquito populations throughout the warmer months.
Plan your boat trip during the early morning hours for the highest density of bird activity.
Do not attempt to feed local wildlife or venture off-trail into the dense reed beds without a local guide.
Park access remains open year-round, but guided boat services are subject to seasonal water level fluctuations and operate primarily from spring through early autumn.
Maintain silence near nesting areas and stay strictly on marked paths to prevent the trampling of protected flora.
