About this place

Base yourself at Heartbreak Crossing for the day. You can launch your canoe, have a picnic or go for a walk along the Warren River Loop Walk.

Heartbreak Crossing is a ford across the Warren River suitable for 4WD vehicles only. A short distance away there is a small (2WD accessible) picnic spot by the river with a wooden deck and steps to access the water from the riverbank.

Beware the Heartbreak Crossing parking area is the last vehicle turnaround point. The vehicle track leaving the far side of the parking area goes straight down to the river crossing.

The Warren River Loop Walk is located in the Warren NP near Pemberton. This 10.5km moderately difficult walk follows the Warren River and passes through some of the regions most magnificent old growth karri forest.  The trail takes you deep into the moss-clad Warren River valley where it meanders alongside the river, through groves of karri, sheoak and Warren River cedar.
