The Quinninup Karri Trail is one of three small trails located within a short distance of the small town of Quinninup. This 3.5km loop utilises a section of the Munda Biddi Trail that runs through the town and traverses a section of old growth karri forest.

In the late 1980’s, the Quinninup community lobbied the government to protect this area from logging. Their efforts resulted in the creation of Dordagup National Park. Some of the karri trees in this forest are truly enormous and are hundreds of years old.
This trail takes you through tall karri forest with a variety of colourful understory species such as clematis, tree hovea and coral vine. Karri hazel lines the edges of this trail in a thick wall of bright green leaves.
