The Baldwin Bluff Trail is a great bushwalk, and makes a perfect addition to a visit to Serpentine National Park. Combined with Kitty's Gorge trail, and Stacey's Loop, it can offer a full day experience in the bush, particularly during the wildflowers season. Trail runners would also enjoy the combination of surfaces and gradients over these trails.
This track requires reasonable fitness to climb up gravel tracks, through jarrah, marri then jarrah woodlands, before reaching the exposed granite at the summit. The lookout offers great views over the Perth Coastal Plan and Serpentine River Valley.
The trail starts on the south side of the Serpentine Falls carpark, next to the toilet block. The area has picnic and BBQ facilities. The Serpentine National Park opens every day between 8:30am and 5.00pm, with standard entry fees charged at the entrance of the carpark.
