Introduction:
Located to the east of Lake CY Connor and south-east of Mundaring Weir around the Mount Dale area, this 8000-hectare park includes the popular recreation site of Mount Dale.
Mount Dale was once the site of a fire lookout tower as it provides almost uninterrupted 360° views over the National Park and surrounding State Forest areas. The lower recreation site at Mount Dale has been upgraded and now provides a pleasant spot for family picnics.
The Bibbulmun Track, which runs from Kalamunda to Albany, travels close-by to Mount Dale and the lower recreation area provides an ideal drop-off/pick-up point for walkers using the Bibbulmun Track.
An animal viewing hide has been constructed on the north side of Mount Dale and provides spectacular views over the Helena National Park and the Darkin River Valley. The animal viewing hide was a joint project between DEC and the Darling Range Branch of the WA Naturalist’s Club.
