John Forrest National Park is one of Western Australia’s oldest national parks, known for its jarrah forest, seasonal waterfalls, and walking tracks that follow old railway lines. Sections of the Railway Reserves Heritage Trail pass through here, alongside routes to spots like National Park Falls and Swan View Tunnel. Around the main visitor areas, such as this one, you’ll find parking, picnic areas, toilets, and a water fountain to refill bottles, making it a convenient place to start or break up a walk. Trails are generally wide and mostly level, but can be uneven in places.
