Rocky Pool Trail
About this track

The trail leads through bushland typical of the Perth Hills, with rocky terrain and a destination pool that rewards the effort. It's a good half-day option for walkers keen to explore the granite country east of Perth without committing to a full day out.
Highlights

- Perth Hills bushland and eucalypt forest
- Moderate gradient, manageable for most fitness levels
- Accessible from Kalamunda township
What to expect
Mostly rocky and uneven underfoot with moderate ups and downs typical of granite country. Sections will be exposed to sun; tree cover is patchy. The track should be clearly marked, though rocky footing demands steady steps. Allow time to enjoy the pool and surrounding rocks if conditions permit.
Good to know
Carry plenty of water, especially in warmer months—the granite reflects heat. Wear sturdy walking shoes with good grip. Avoid this track in summer during high bushfire danger. Spring (Aug–Oct) offers mild temperatures and wildflowers. Check local conditions before heading out.
