Nanga Brook Walk Trail

Nanga Brook Walk Trail follows the brook through dense jarrah forest in Lane Poole Reserve, passing the remains of the old timber mill townsite. It is a moderate 4-kilometre return walk near Dwellingup, and dogs may come on lead.

Leads and 1080

The Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions requires dogs on a lead and under control at all times in the reserve. It also runs 1080 baiting for foxes and feral cats, and the poison kills dogs.

Keep your dog on the cleared track, and check current alerts with Parks and Wildlife before you go.

The walk

The track has wooden steps, uneven ground and a few short steep pinches, with small hills that give a decent workout without wearing you out. The forest canopy shades most of it.

The brook runs right beside the path, but untreated water can carry bacteria or parasites. Carry fresh water for drinking.

Getting started

Trailheads sit at Nanga Mill Campground and the Nanga Townsite, both with toilets and picnic areas. Vehicle entry fees apply for Lane Poole Reserve.

Bins are sparse in the bush, so pack out waste.

Pair it with

Before or after, Blue Wren Cafe Dwellingup is in town.

A good pick if you are camping at Nanga, since you can walk straight from camp with the dog, and the shade keeps it pleasant into late spring.
