Kwinana Trails

Explore Kwinana’s scenic trails, from bushland walks to coastal paths. Discover nature, wildlife, and outdoor adventures right in your backyard.

Kwinana Trails

The City of Kwinana is uniquely placed in the metropolitan area for participation in outdoor recreation opportunities due to its position surrounded by nature. This is a great location to hike or ride iconic trails, to connect with regional bridle trail networks, and participate in smaller local walk options.

A Trails Network Master Plan is currently being developed for Kwinana to highlight our existing network of trails, to consider important linkages to bicycle networks and other iconic trails, to review connections to the regional network of trails and to provide an opportunity for destination tourism. This plan will provide an overarching document to assist in the prioritisation of future trails development, in line with the State Trails Development Process.

The Kwinana Loop Trail

The Kwinana Loop Trail is our iconic 21km trail that loops around the perimeter of the City and provides an opportunity to take in some of the City’s best views, whilst experiencing the natural bushland. It links some of Kwinana’s key natural and cultural features such as Chalk Hill, the Wildflower Reserve, Sloans Reserve, Leda Nature Reserve, and the Tramway Trail. It was first developed in 2006 as part of Lotterywest funding, and has seen the development of the Kwinana Loop Trail Master Plan which was adopted by Council in 2022.

The Loop Trail has recently received further State Government Funding to upgrade the degraded trail surface and improve wayfinding/interpretative signage, and promote the trails to the community.

Trail Ready (Are you prepared for your journey?)

When heading out on the trails, there are always some important considerations before you get started, here are some tips to consider before you commence, particularly for our longer trails:

  • Take a friend where you can, or let someone know where you have gone
  • Always carry water with you, and ensure you have sufficient water for your journey
  • Have you checked the weather forecast? Make sure you dress appropriately for the weather, eg. sun hat or rain coat
  • Wear comfortable enclosed walking shoes – not only will this make your journey more enjoyable, it will serve as a barrier from insects and snakes. 
  • Stick to the trails – not only does going off the trail result in more damage to our bushland, and increase the chances of interactions with wildlife,  it can also result in you getting lost.  If you find yourself lost and confused, you may be able to retrace your steps, or stay put and call a friend. 
  • Share the space - The trails are there for both hikers and mountain bike riders, so show consideration to each other when using the trail, allow room and ring your bicycle bell whilst overtaking, and mountain bike riders slow down in busy areas. 
  • Leave no trace – reduce your impact on the environment, and pack out everything you bring in.
  • Pack essential gear – Bring water, snacks, first aid kit, navigation equipment and sun protection.

Know your limits – It is important to know when you need a break, or realise how much you can handle
