Learn moreThe 1.9km walk starts at the car park in the picnic area below the Harvey Dam. Climbing up to the top of the dam, across the dam wall and down the other side to where you started. Not suitable for young children or people with mobility issues.
In the 1980s a group of Harvey Rotarians, led by Mr Dick Lofthouse created a bush walk near the Harvey Dam. Dick maintained the original trail until it became part of the new Harvey Dam development. In recognition of the work and foresight of Dick and fellow Rotarians, a new walk was created including the beautiful timber boardwalk across Gibbs Pool.
The trail is easily located at the end of the carpark, below the toilets in the Harvey Dam picnic area. The first section including the boardwalk is suitable for people in wheel chairs, using mobility aids and prams.
The native gardens in the picnic area are immaculately maintained and quite spectacular in spring when the wildflowers fill the area with colourful blooms.

We love to hear from people who've been on our Western Australian trails, so it would be most appreciated it if you wanted to leave a review.
Trails are free and bring so many benefits to our community by providing opportunities to have fun, get fit, socialise, explore and challenge yourself. But they also have to be managed and maintained which only is made possible through terrific sponsors, donations and/or volunteering.
