About King Jarrah Short Loop, Lane Poole, Dwellingup
The King Jarrah Short Loop starts at the King Jarrah trailhead, located by the edge of the jarrah forest near Nanga Mill Campground.
This challenging Class 4 loop can be undertaken in either direction, but expect a steep section on the western side. Part of the trail traces the former transportation route of a once vibrant timber industry and weaves through jarrah forrest and rocky areas dominated by sheoak, bull banksia and karri hazel.
For those seeking a longer adventure, the King Jarrah Walk Trail offers an 18km, six-hour loop.
