About this track

Suited to walkers seeking a short outing with some elevation change, it's best tackled in cooler months when the Kalbarri region is pleasant underfoot.

- Moderate gradient with some elevation
- 2.6 km round trip, 35 minutes
- Unpaved track through natural terrain
- Close to Kalbarri town facilities
What to expect
Unpaved track with gentle to moderate grades, following the river. Terrain underfoot is likely sandy or rocky in places, typical of inland Kalbarri country. Some exposure to sun; tree cover varies. The track should be signposted, though WA inland routes can be basic. Expect a steady walk with minor climbs.
Good to know
Carry water, especially in warm months—the Kalbarri region is hot and dry in summer. Autumn through spring (March–October) offers the most pleasant conditions. Wear sturdy walking shoes suited to unpaved, possibly loose ground. Check local conditions before visiting, and be aware of bushfire risk during fire season.
