Learn moreAbout Bickley Reservoir Walk, Perth Hills
Bickley Reservoir was originally constructed in 1920 with the purpose of supplementing Perth’s water supply. In 1936, the Reservoir was taken out of service and the water used for irrigation until 1944. Following, Bickley Reservoir and the surrounding catchment area was set aside for recreational purposes.
Apart from bushwalking other activities in the area include mountain bike riding, horse riding, canoeing and llama walking. Facilities include barbecues, toilets, change rooms and tap water. There is plenty of shade available and the wildflowers are on show in the spring months from September through to November.
The Bickley Reservoir Trail is quite a challenging trail, but as always offers some beautiful views overlooking the valley and Reservoir below as well as stretching out to the city afar. Beautiful Wandoo and Sheok forests compliment the granite outcrops as you walk along the ridgeline. The trail is 3.2km return with a large loop section.
Signage needs a little work but you can download a copy of the trail to help you along, the trail is setup to be done in a clockwise direction.
