Wambenger Trails, Wellington National Park

34 Trails

Bush Walk  network in South West

There is plenty to explore in Wellington National Park with walks, bike trails and water activities surrounded by jarrah forest and impressive views of the Collie River Valley. You'll find something on offer for everyone.

The Wellington National Park Trails are part of the Wambenger Trails network, which includes short and overnight walk, cycle, drive and paddle experiences in the Collie region. The icon for this network is the wambenger, a little-known Australian carnivorous marsupial that is listed as a threatened species and restricted to the south-west forests. This Collie local and brush-tailed dynamo is active under the cover of darkness and spends most of its time in the tree canopy.

This network is the largest mountain bike trail network in Western Australia, featuring nearly 100km of exceptional trails and linking iconic sites such as Wellington Dam, Honeymoon Pool, Mount Lennard and the spectacular Collie River Valley. For beginners to experts, there are plenty of climbs, descents, technical downhill and cross-country pedalling.

Within Wellington National Park, the Wambenger Trails are separated by the Collie River, creating two lots of trails: Wellington Trails East and Wellington Trails West.

Wellington Dam, Potters Gorge and Honeymoon Pool make up the eastern section, with many of the walk and cycle trails starting at the Wellington and Potters Trailhead. There are plenty of the green (easy) mountain bike trails on offer here, such as Van Dam and Lichen This. If you prefer a slower pace through the bush, Jabitj, Sika and Kurliiny Tjenangitj trails are fantastic options. Please keep in mind that both Jabitj and Sika are shared-use trails, so please keep trail etiquette in mind. 

Over to the west, you’ll find the renowned Pile Road and Mount Lennard mountain bike trails. These trails are built on a very gentle slope and ideal for those who like singletrack rolling through the bush. Here, the ups are consistent but gentle, the down often require a little pedalling to get up to top speed. Compared to modern trails these are a little more organic with less machine made trail and jumps. The one exception is the jump area at the bottom of this network which gives riders a fun place to push themselves with doubles and table tops. The western trails mainly cater to the mountain bikers with lots of blue (moderate) trails and a couple of black (difficult) and double black (extreme) trails.
