Lake Goollelal Loop

Lake Goollelal Loop is a dog walk in Ballajura, WA, where the route offers views of the lake, wetlands, paperbark forests, native banksia woodlands, and historical sites, with opportunities for birdwatching and spotting other wildlife.

The walk

Underfoot it is paved, limestone, and boardwalk.

Lead rules

Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) and the Cities of Joondalup and Wanneroo manages the route. This is a lead-on route: the leash stays on from the car park to the exit, with council signage the only exception if a section is ever re-signed.

Carry water for the dog: drinking points along walks like this are rarely signed, so plan as if there are none. Early morning and dusk are the comfortable windows in Ballajura for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.

Worth knowing

The Ballajura suburb guide lists what else is around for the dog. Kingfisher Oval is the other local walk worth comparing.
