Kennedy Range is found on the edge of the Gascoyne River catchment area and is a weathered plateau that extends for a distance of 150 km (93 mi) essentially forming a huge mesa. Spectacular sandstone cliffs can be found on the southern and eastern sides of the range which are dissected by steep canyons which have an elevation of up to 100 metres (330 ft).

The Range is in Kennedy Range National approximately 830 kilometres north of Perth (12 hours drive) and about 150 km east of Carnarvon (2 hours drive).
