About this park
Dwellingup State Forest covers an extensive area of the Darling Range from north of Dwellingup all the way to Harvey. It contains some magnificent jarrah/marri forest including many areas of impressively tall and ancient trees. The forests are spectacular in Djilba and Kambarang when the wildflowers are in full bloom and there are all sorts of interesting mushrooms and other fungi to see in Djeran and Makuru.
These forests are home to native wildlife including kangaroos, wallabies, bandicoots, echidnas, and lots of birds including the forest red-tailed black cockatoo.
Tracks, trails and back roads through the forest lead to lakes and dams, picnic areas, and campgrounds where you can enjoy activities such as four-wheel driving, bushwalking, mountain bike riding, freshwater fishing, boating, and water skiing. You can even take your dog (on a leash).

Western Shield - The Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions undertakes 1080 baiting at this location to reduce the impacts of feral cats and foxes on native wildlife.
Meat baits containing 1080 poison are laid in or around this area on an ongoing basis. 1080 is poisonous to humans and will kill domestic cats and dogs. Pets are permitted in the recreation area of Dwellingup State Forest but must be kept in control and on a leash at all times.
