Learn moreThe 1872 Heritage Railway Trail is made up of two sections: a 9.8km walk and a shorter 4km loop. Both follow the timber tramway illustrating Jarrahdale's rich history. There are options to picnic among wandoo bushland, with vistas over the Darling Scarp and valley.
The longer trail has a gentle gradient suitable for most bushwalkers. Only the short loop has a steeper section as you approach Gingagup Brook. Both trails offers a rare opportunity to bring your dogs if kept on lead.
