What to expect
A flat, sealed shared path hugging parkland and river edges with minimal elevation change. The route is well-signposted and mostly open to sun, particularly along the foreshore sections. Some sections may pass through tree cover depending on exact alignment. Suitable for hybrid and road bikes; expect moderate traffic from other users on weekends.
Good to know
- Open to cyclists
- Waymarked route
Carry water, especially on hot days; Perth summers are warm and exposure is significant in open sections. Check local conditions before riding in summer due to potential bushfire risk. The path is shared, so watch for pedestrians and other cyclists. Suitable footwear and a bike in good working order are essential.
