Bushwalking in WA

Walking through any piece of natural bushland is as close as you'll get to being at one with nature.

Bushwalking is one of the most pleasurable activities Western Australia has to offer and, what's more, it's good for you. It is one of the least expensive forms of excercise and one of the most beneficial. It can ease stiffness, improve cardiovascular fitness, reduce stress and help control weight, especially if done regularly. Walking is the single most important form of physical activity for many people and it's enjoyable too. Why walk on a treadmill when you can stride into some of the world's best sights and sounds in a nearby park?

To make your bushwalking experience even more enjoyable, we have provided a wide range of information (listed in the related items to the right) to help you plan either a short walk or an extended series of walks.

The department's Park Finder site has a lot of information about parks, reserves and other recreation areas, including entry fees and passes, camping, online brochures, and even pets in parks.
