Read more about this trail

The Joseph and Dulcie Nannup trail is approximately 4km long, flat easy walk with interpretives signage sharing an insight into the cultural history of the Serpentine River. The trail consists of sealed pathways, unsealed compacted limestone and boardwalks. There are multiple entry/exit points to the trail along the waterfront.

The Nannup's used to live in bush camps along the river, sustaining their family on fish caught from the river and lakes in the area. In honour of their memory and the continuing use of the River by their family this walk trail has been named after them.

Boardwalks along this trail overlook the scenic Goegrup Lake, which is fed by the Serpentine River that begins at the Darling Scarp, and is one of the three major rivers that drain into the Peel-Harvey Estuary, an internationally important wetland listed on the Ramsar Treaty.

Enjoy sighting diverse birdlife, Quenda and possibly dolphins, not to mention the abundant varied native vegetation.

Absolutely beautiful area.
Wheelchair accessible once you leave the car park go right it’s pathed and then gravel but it’s firm. When you get back go the other way and you come to the boardwalk area wheelchair accessible.
Birds on the river was awesome to see.

My favourite trail in Mandurah. Whilst the trail does run past some residential zones in parts majority is walking along side the Serpentine river & it really is an absolute treat. Walkers are treated to an abundance of wildlife, lush natural bush, Aboriginal history & if your lucky you may get a visit from some local dolphins. Highly recommend starting from the Northern end at Lake Goegrup, the sunrise is spectacular along the boardwalk.

Beautiful, very easy trail. Loads of bird life and bush along the water's edge. Plenty of shade (even at midday) and seating along the way.

This is the best trail in Mandurah! The Serpentine river is very unspoilt and hosts an amazing abundance of wildlife. The site of ancient Noongar fish traps this is a great walk on a windy day when the coast is not nice. The trail is shaded and cool, following alongside the Serpentine river.
There are no cafes or restaurants near by, listen out for dolphins in the river.
