Collie River Trail
About this cycle path
The Collie River Trail is a 5.6 km moderate cycle route following the river through Collie's outskirts. The unpaved surface winds through a mix of open and treed terrain typical of the South-West's jarrah and marri forest fringe. Well-suited to hybrid or mountain bikes, it offers a pleasant ride for locals and visitors seeking a quieter alternative to road cycling, with good access from the town.
Highlights
- Riverside route through South-West forest edge
- Unpaved but well-formed surface suitable for hybrids
- Mix of shaded woodland and open sections
- Moderate gradient, 25 minutes end-to-end
- Local access point from Collie township
What to expect
Unpaved trail with a firm base, typical of inland South-West riding. Terrain rises and falls gently rather than steeply. You'll ride through patches of marri and jarrah woodland offering intermittent shade, with some more open stretches. Signposting should guide you; trail width is suited to single and small group riding.
Good to know
- Open to cyclists
Carry water—the South-West can be warm, especially October to April. Wear shoes with good grip for unpaved surfaces; a hybrid or mountain bike is ideal. Spring wildflowers (August–October) make this a pleasant season. Check fire danger ratings in summer; the trail may close during high risk periods.
