About National Park Falls Walk Trail, John Forrest NP

The falls when running cascade over large granite rock formations into a lush green valley in the cooler months (September to October), and there's a small viewing bridge to cross over for a great view.

We did this walk on a crisp Sunday morning with kids in tow and they loved it. Very well sign posted and lots of great spots to have lunch. Looking forward to going back in August to do the longer wildflower walk.
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.
