Located a short drive from Byford, Serpentine National Park offers a weekend escape into the jarrah forests of the Darling Scarp, featuring prominent walking trails just south of Perth. Key highlights include the challenging Baldwins Bluff Trail with its valley vistas and views of Serpentine Falls, and the Kittys Gorge Trail, which meanders along Gooralong Brook and the Serpentine River past granite gorges.
If you prefer a longer walk wrapped in absolute tranquility, the Kittys Gorge Trail is a brilliant alternative. This moderately difficult track meanders beautifully along the banks of the Gooralong Brook and the Serpentine River, leading you past deep granite gorges and quiet pools shaded by old-growth forests. Whether you are chasing an intense physical workout or a peaceful day out in nature, this national park is a must-visit destination.
The park is easily accessible via the South Western Highway by car, rideshare, or local taxi. Use this Google Maps pin for the park drop-off location to navigate directly to the parking lot and passenger drop-off zone.
