Over autumn, trail lovers were invited to vote for their favourites from a selection of categories - trails that showcase the best of Western Australia’s waterways, history, community and landscapes.
Trails WA Chair, Suzanne Hillier said the campaign once again highlighted the growing passion for trails across the state.
“Trails are more than just paths — they connect us to nature, history, and each other. We’re thrilled to see so many Western Australians share their love for the trails that mean the most to them”.
Each winning trail reflects a different side of Western Australia’s diverse trail offering, and we had five additional worthy mentions which just slid under the Top Ten cut-off further highlighting our incredible selection of trails in Western Australia:
- Shark Bay World Heritage Drive, Shark Bay
- Honeymoon Pool Kayak Trail, Wellington NP

Voting for the 2025 awards was supported by three incredible WA experiences, with entrants going into the draw to win adventure and leisure prizes from:

“We’re so grateful to our prize partners and major sponsor Paddy Pallin, for helping us encourage people to get outdoors, vote, and celebrate our amazing trails,” said Suzanne Hillier.
