The Nanga Brook Walk Trail is a Class 3, 4km return trail which follows the charming Nanga Brook between Nanga Townsite and Nanga Mill Campground. The trail can be started from either end, where the bridge meets the brook.

The scenic walk will take you through the historical Nanga area, which was once a thriving timber mill town, and dense jarrah forest. You'll find wooden steps along the trail and short, steep sections - just to balance the serenity with a little bit of hard work!

Both Nanga Townsite and Nanga Mill Campground are delightful spots to picnic, so consider packing a lunch to eat among the jarrah trees. If you were interested in an overnight stay at Nanga Mill Campground, or any of the nearby campgrounds in Lane Poole Reserve, be sure to book in advance via the DBCA Park Stay website.
