About this park

There are no facilities or visitor sites in this park. The long and narrow Hassell National Park straddles the South Coast Highway, east of Albany, between the townships of Manypeaks and Wellstead. It is approximately 43km in length and at its widest point is approximately 550m wide. The 1264 hectare area consists of low woodland through to mixed heath, with scattered Mallee. It is best seen from your vehicle while driving the South Coast Highway.

Safety information

Plan when to visit. Consider travelling with a personal location beacon (PLB). In the event you need to be rescued it could save your life! 

  • Beware of traffic. The park, along its entire length, is separated by the South Coast Highway which is heavily trafficked. Road trains are regular users of the highway.
