This much loved Perth area has a long history of use since European settlement, but the area is also of cultural and historical significance to the first Australians and is part of the Whadjuk Trail network which aims to help those visiting today to gain a unique understanding and appreciation of the areas that were tradionally used by the Noongar people. 

A 3.5km loop trail helps you to discover the beauty of the lake and surrounds, with several intereptive plaques providing insights from a historical perspective.  Impressive views of Perth city can be experienced from the Dodd Street end of the walk.

Beautiful views, shaded areas, exercise areas, ablutions, water points, lots of bird life, flat asphalt walk with distance markers is ideal for a light walk or timed training. Parts of the loop have walking only paths and boardwalks. A popular and busy trail.

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.
