The Pico do Marumbi State Park was created by state governor decree 7300 of 24 September 1990 with an area of {{convert|2,342.41|ha}}.

The Institute of Lands, Cartography and Forests (ITCF) of the State of Paraná was to administer the park to promote preserving the waters, flora and fauna.

Two years were given for preparation of the management plan, to be integrated with the Marumbi Tourist Area.{{sfn|Dias|Dias|Souza|1990}}

On 2 October 2007 Governor Roberto Requião signed a decree to expand the Pico do Marumbi State Park to {{convert|8745|ha}}.

He also expanded the Cerrado State Park to {{convert|1830.40|ha}} and created the Vale do Codó and Palmas state parks.

The governor said laws were being drafted so the legislature could confirm these measures.

In his first term of office he had created the Guartelá State Park by decree, and the governor who succeeded him had reduced it by 90% through a decree.

This would not have been possible if laws had been passed.{{sfn|Requião cria dois novos parques estaduais e amplia ...}}

The park remained under the administration of the Environmental Institute of Paraná (IAP).

The decree declared that land within the new boundaries were of public utility, and would be expropriated with compensation.{{sfn|Requião|Rodrigues|Verri|2007}}

The Marumbi Massif is located inside the state park, a complex with eight peaks with varying degrees of difficulty.{{sfn|Pico do Marumbi – uma conquista à altura de todos}}

The massif is in the heart of the Serra do Mar of Paraná.

The mountains can be challenging, and it is best to employ an experienced guide.{{sfn|Parque Estadual do Marumbi – Trilhas e Rumos}}

Olimpo is the highest, at {{convert|1539|m}}, and was first climbed by Joaquim Olímpio de Miranda on 21 August 1879.{{sfn|Pico do Marumbi – uma conquista à altura de todos}}

The seven other peaks are Boa Vista at {{convert|1500|m}}, Gigante at {{convert|1487|m}}, Ponta do Tigre at {{convert|1400|m}}, Esfinge at {{convert|1378|m}}, Torre dos Sinos at {{convert|1280|m}}, Abrolhos at {{convert|1200|m}} and Facãozinho at {{convert|1100|m}}.{{sfn|Parque Estadual do Marumbi – Trilhas e Rumos}}

An easy 30 minute walk from the park base leads to the Rochedinho, at {{convert|630|m}} above sea level.

This gives a view over the Paranaguá and Antonina bays and the Serra do Mar.

The Marumbinistas Waterfall is a {{convert|50|m}} fall on the Taquaral River, which has several natural pools where visitors can bathe.

The park has a free camping area beside the forest police post, with toilets and hot water showers.

There is a museum with pictures, artifacts and maps about the conquest of the peak.{{sfn|Pico do Marumbi – uma conquista à altura de todos}}
