North Gorge Road
About this track
North Gorge Road is a moderate 4.2 km gravel track near Mundaring that winds through bushland with some elevation change. The track suits walkers looking for a half-hour outing with a bit of challenge, offering typical WA forest character—jarrah and marri woodland with rocky outcrops. Best walked in cooler months; summer heat and bushfire risk make autumn through spring ideal.

What to expect
Gravel surface with uneven sections and rocks underfoot. Steady moderate climb with some steeper sections; the track is signposted but terrain is natural bushland, so footing needs attention. Mix of shaded forest and open heath; canopy cover varies. Typical Mundaring granite and forest setting with rocky terrain.
Good to know
Carry at least 1–2 litres of water; no reliable sources on-track. Wear sturdy walking boots for rocky, uneven gravel. Avoid December–February heat and peak bushfire season. Spring (Aug–Oct) offers mild weather and wildflowers. Dogs often not permitted in reserve; check local regulations before visiting.
