About this place
This striking 250-metre-long steel and timber walkway offers a unique way to experience the park, with sweeping views across Glen Brook and the surrounding granite outcrops.
During the initial stage, access is available from the eastern end via a ramp and connecting trail. The walkway has been designed to be accessible for prams and wheelchairs, making it easy for everyone to enjoy the experience.
Take a moment to pause along the way - timber decking and seating, crafted from reclaimed spotted gum, provide the perfect spot to sit back and soak in the scenery.
Once the John Forrest National Park rejuvenation project is complete, the walkway will link the West Ridge carpark to the future park hub, creating a scenic and enjoyable connection for both walkers and cyclists.

Traditional Owners
We recognise and acknowledge Whadjuk people as the traditional owners of John Forrest National Park.
Nyoongar people are known to have lived in the Midland to Guildford area before European settlement. There is anecdotal evidence that the area was once used as a hunting place and Jane Brook Valley was an ancient travel route that Nyoongar people used to cross the Darling Scarp to the more open country in the east. Jane Brook is also of cultural significance, with a connection to the Dreamtime serpent, the Waugal. The rocks in and along the brook are said to be the droppings of this mythical creature.
