Shannon National Park has something for everyone!
A place where walkers, drivers and horse riders are equally welcome, offering many ways to experience one of Western Australia’s most magnificent karri forests.
The 50-kilometre Great Forest Trees Drive winds through towering karri, jarrah and marri, with interpretive signs and picnic spots along the way, while bushwalking trails cater for all fitness levels. Highlights such as Snake Gully Lookout and Big Tree Grove bring you face to face with forest giants reaching up to 90 metres tall, and birdlife is abundant throughout the park. Canoeing and kayaking are also popular on the Shannon River.
Camping is available at the Shannon Campground (fees apply), and the park is especially unique for its equestrian facilities.
Whether you explore on foot, by car, on the water or in the saddle, Shannon National Park offers something for everyone.
