Looking for perths best hiking and walking trails? this list will keep you busy whilst seeing the best perth has to offer!

1. Lesmurdie Falls :

Only 40 minutes from Perths CBD, Lesmurdie National Park is a must-visit destination for hikers of all levels! You can choose the easy 600m return Falls Trail or challenge yourself with the full 3km Valley Loop Trail. One of the best things about this park is its flexibility—you can start your adventure at the bottom or top, with car parks available at both ends, and even customise your trail to some extent. Just don’t forget to keep track of your turns (I may have gotten a little lost—check out CSG TikTok for some hilarious fail videos!).

2. Serpentine National Park:

Serpentine National Park is another fantastic spot to spend a few hours exploring, located 50 minutes south of Perth CBD. With its stunning wildlife—especially in the early morning—and a variety of hiking trails, it’s a nature lover’s dream! You can take the easy route to the falls or venture onto other trails, like the challenging Baldwins Bluff Trail, which stretches 5.8km and isn’t for the faint-hearted. Other tracks, such as Stacey’s Loop and Kitty George, also offer great options for exploring the park. Check out the trail details on Explore Parks WA, but don’t forget there’s an entrance fee for this park. Why not make the most of it by trying out a couple of trails while you’re there?
