About this park
Climb 670m to the top of Castle Rock on the Granite Skywalk. The walkways hug the huge granite boulders and that’s where you’ll get views north to The Stirling Range and south towards farmland and the ocean.
You’ll find all types of walking trails, some that will test your fitness scrambling over and under granite rocks to easier loops through the forest.
Kick off your hiking boots and enjoy a well-earned lunch at one of the picnic areas and barbecues .
For more incredible views, take one of the two scenic drives around and through the park.
Review
If you can get yourself up to the top....well done! The Skywalk is an amazing engineering marvel and the views are incredible. Jill Bossinga -Trip Advisor
