This challenging 16 kilometre circuit walk around John Forrest National Park offers great views across the Swan Coastal Plain to Perth city and the ocean in the distance. The trail is a bushwalker’s delight, covering a variety of relatively pristine habitats, passing beautiful waterfalls and boasting spectacular wildflower displays in spring.
The trail takes walkers away from the picnic areas, following Jane Brook. It then climbs to a point where hikers can admire the sprawling view of the Swan Coastal Plain. The trail then weaves its way up and down valleys, creek lines and hills before heading back to the Brook which it follows back to the main visitor's area. The trail is marked in a clockwise direction. It's more challenging than other trails in the park, but your efforts are well rewarded. Be sensible, allowing plenty of time for the walk which, depending on your level of fitness, will take about 5 to 6 hours.
Through the length of the trail you will be guided by the yellow triangle emblem with the silhouette of the eagle on it.
