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).
Safety information
Plan when to visit. Read this safety information about bushwalking, mountain biking, swimming, fishing, paddling, four-wheel driving, boating, water skiing and kayaking. Consider travelling with a personal location beacon (PLB). In the event you need to be rescued it could save your life!
Keeping your dog safe. Dogs are allowed in the recreation area of Dwellingup State Forest but must be kept in control and on a leash at all times. The department conducts baiting with 1080 poison as part of its Western Shield animal conservation program in Dwellingup State Forest.
