The South West of Western Australia is a paradise for anyone who loves to move — whether that’s cycling through towering karri forests, walking beside tranquil rivers, or hiking rugged coastal cliffs. With hundreds of trails weaving through national parks, forests, and seaside landscapes, the region is one of Australia’s most diverse outdoor playgrounds. And now, exploring it all is even easier thanks to the brand‑new Trails WA mobile app, free to download at https://trailswa.com.au/get-the-trails-wa-app.

Ride Through the Forests

Cyclists will find endless adventure across the South West. Pemberton’s forest trails wind through cool, shaded gullies and tall timber stands, while the legendary Munda Biddi Trail — one of the world’s longest off‑road cycling routes — offers multi‑day journeys through pristine wilderness. Families can enjoy gentle loops around Big Brook Dam, while more experienced riders can dive into flowing singletrack and technical climbs deep in the Southern Forests.

Pemberton is also home to one of Western Australia’s premier riding destinations: the Pemberton Mountain Bike Park. With more than 30 purpose‑built trails ranging from beginner‑friendly greens to fast blue flow and challenging black‑diamond descents, it’s a hub for riders of all levels. Features like berms, jumps, log rides, and the iconic Relentless Blue climb add excitement, while the forest backdrop delivers unforgettable views.

Adding to the excitement, the region now boasts the brand‑new Arboretum MTB Trails — a scenic network of smooth, playful singletracks weaving through the historic Pemberton Arboretum. Designed for progression and accessibility, these trails offer gentle gradients, fun rollers, and sweeping forest scenery, making them ideal for families, beginners, and riders warming up before tackling the main MTB park.

Walkers & Hikers: Endless Ways to Wander

Walkers and hikers are equally spoiled. The Bibbulmun Track passes through the heart of the region, offering everything from short strolls to multi‑day treks between Pemberton, Northcliffe, and Walpole. Around Beedelup Falls, suspension bridges and lush forest trails create a magical walking experience, while coastal explorers can head toward Windy Harbour for dramatic cliffs, ocean views, and wildflower‑lined paths.

Slow‑Paced Nature Escapes

For those who prefer a gentler outing, the Warren River Loop, Gloucester National Park trails, and the peaceful paths around Pemberton Pool and Lefroy Brook offer tranquil, nature‑rich experiences perfect for families and casual walkers.
