Wallis Road
About this cycle path
Wallis Road is a 2.8 km unpaved cycle path near Collie, suited to riders with moderate fitness. The short, straightforward route makes it ideal for a quick spin on mountain or hybrid bikes. The unpaved surface and moderate difficulty suggest gentle grades and mixed terrain rather than a flat rail trail, offering a good introduction to off-road cycling in the South-West.

What to expect
Unpaved track with moderate gradient—not steep, but not entirely flat either. Surface may be loose gravel or compacted earth, typical of South-West forest trails. Expect some shade from jarrah and marri forest but also open sections. Track should be clearly marked, though conditions vary with recent rainfall.
Good to know
- Open to cyclists
Mountain or hybrid bike recommended for the unpaved surface. Carry water, especially in warmer months. Summer brings heat and bushfire risk; check local conditions before riding. Spring wildflowers may line the route. Avoid immediately after rain when the surface is wet and slippery.
