Lane Poole Reserve

Lane Poole Reserve is a biodiversity haven, with landscapes that range from lush jarrah and marri forests to the delicate wandoo woodlands. Brimming birdlife, hear the ‘kaarak’ of the rare red-tailed black cockatoos to the timid tweets of the splendid fairywren. At the heart of the reserve flows the Murray River, a haven for aquatic adventures— from kayaking to fast-water rafting, they offer a dose of adrenaline or serenity, depending on what you seek. The reserve’s trails are a trekker’s paradise, weaving through the old-growth forest with stunning vistas at every turn. Ranging from breezy strolls to sweat-breaking hikes within two and 18 kilometres. Experience it all from the Dwaarlindjirraap day-use area. With the 108 metre suspension bridge connecting the northern side of the reserve and car park to the Murray Valley Mountain Bike Trail network and the Munda Biddi Trail, it is the ideal place to take a swim after a day of activity, launch a kayak, or wind down with a picnic. Lane Poole Reserve’s camping sites offer the most immersive base to experience the reserve. Tourists are advised to check for alerts and road/park closures before commencing their travel on www.emergency.wa.gov.au and https://alerts.dbca.wa.gov.au Park entry fees apply.
