Yanchep National Park offers you a choice of nine interesting walk trails ranging in length from 500 metres to 55 kilometres. Along the way you will witness spectacular scenery and panoramic views from the sea to the scarp.

Choose a walk trail to suit your personal level of fitness and time frame. See collapsed cave systems, gorges, pristine coastal wetlands, beautiful lakes, or haunted historic remains.

Appreciate the diverse range of trees including Banksia, Tuart, Marri, Stunted Jarrah, Sheoak and Paperbark. During spring kangaroo paws and cat paws are in flower and during July and August, the Yanchep Rose and the Parrot Bush are in full flower.

Animal and bird watchers can follow the Carnaby Black Cockatoo or seek out the Black-glove Wallaby and Quenda (bandicoots).

Gain an insight into Aboriginal culture following the Yaberoo Budjara trail which is based on Yellagonda, (a significant local Nyoongar elder) and his people’s movements in the area.

Longer walk trails such as the three and a half day Coastal Plain Walk provides facilities including huts, water tanks and bush toilets.

Yanchep National Park is just 45 minutes north of Perth. Trail maps are available from the visitor centre.
