John Forrest National Park

Its a well maintain forest. I like the trails. Love the view and the the story of the place as well. My suggestion is prepare water bottle as you go trail, especially on the hot summer like now. They do have a great picnic area.

Great little walk and specifically for the Tunnel. It's an interesting part of WA history that more people should know about. But it's cool how most things built in the late 1800s were linked, from Fremantle to the Perth Mint to this Tunnel, they all played a part in the bigger scheme that was Western Australia at the time.

A good place to walk, enjoy the view and have a good day of picnic. Be sure to use sunscreen, wear a hat and bring a liter or more of water per person. 😊

A beautiful location around 30 mins from Perth providing bbq / picnic facilities, toilets and plenty of parking but be warned, it's $15 entry per car. Make a day if it and get your entry fees worth.
Walking trails of various lengths with waterfalls nearby. Dont forget a hat and sunscreen.
I wouldn't recommend going during rain or extreme heat. Spring and autumn is a great time.

Great place for a walk. Lots of different walking options. Flat walks to more off piste walks. Trails are well directed with regular markers, so you can't get lost. Nice picnic areas. Good for families as well as avid walkers.

John Forrest, nice place for walking and cycling with your frens and family. The parrots are really friendly they come to you sit on ur head. Nice gateway place to enjoy your weekend and too far.

John Forrest National park is a very good reserve for outing. It is preferred to take drinking water with you. There are some attraction sites including natural falls.

Beautiful hike with amazing views including a waterfall and a tunnel to walk through. Many walk options with different difficulties and length. Also offer's bike riding tracks.

Great national park full of lovely views, nature and points of historical interest. Some nice spots to have a picnic and BBQ as well, although there are large areas of the park in the natural state with few or no amenities.
Make sure you plan your visit as some of the best spots are only accessible by foot/bike and take a while to get to.

No dogs/pets allowed. Place is good if you want to walk in trail, get inside the tunnel and falls, Good place to spend time with your family and friends. There is picnic area as well.

My first time hiking and it was beautiful in the morning. Well worth the trip with friends! Along the trails there's plenty of signs with information about where you are and the history behind the location.

Had a beautiful day out with long walks & to the Swan view tunnel, had a picnic with loads to see. Checked my first kookaburra, parrots 🦜 kangaroos, the barbecue area's clean and well run, 👌 beautiful park.

So glad that we discovered this part of Perth! Wild flowers and endemic plants and animals to enjoy.

Wonderful spot for walking. So beautiful with wildflowers.

Great place for a walk, hike or bike ride. Recent rain has really had a wonderful affect on the bushland. Free parking is available off Morrison Rd and you'll be just a short walk from the historic Swan View Tunnel. Remember to take water with you on your walk and I'd suggest sticking to the trails & pathways. Amazing views will surround you as you wander through a native bushland.

We love taking our young sons here to explore, hike and play. You typically need to pay an entrance fee as it is a National Park, though you can pay for annual entrance fee. There is ample car parking, though it can get super packed! Toilet block, picnic benches and lots of areas to set up for a lunch. The trails are generally well sign posted. A great spot not too far out of Perth.

Had a quick hike and picnic on a sunday morning. The park have different levels of hike trail difficulties suited for all ages. We took one of the short trails and we enjoyed the scenery and beauty of nature. They have a number of picnic tables at the entrance. We also saw a group of kangaroos roaming around which was quite common in the place. Definitely worth a visit for relaxation, exercise and family bonding.

Wow! 😍 My first time here with my family and we loved it! Beautiful scenery and views and the area is massive! We are definitely planning to go back to see more of this place, we only covered around 6kms and I couldn't tell you which trail we did 😅

Visited John Forrest National Park to do the 15KM Eagles View Walk (which I would highly recommend).

We also walked to the Swan View Tunnel along the old railway. Our total hike was about 21KM.

The park and hiking trails are well kept. Great views back to the city from the trails. Toilets were clean. Lots of picnic benches.

Paid $15 (per car) to enter the park. The park was very quiet when we arrived at 8AM on a Monday. There were a few people around when we left at midday.

We did the 6km hiking trail through the Swan view tunnel and Falls. The view was beautiful, the trail was quite easy and flat with cool historic facts along the way. Make sure to swing by the John Forrest Tavern afterwards to hang out with the kangaroos!
