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).
