Pelican Trail/River Walk is a dog walk in Augusta, WA, where the route follows the Blackwood River estuary, offering peaceful views of the water, shady peppermint and paperbark trees, and opportunities to spot pelicans and dolphins.
The walk
Underfoot it is paved, with some fine granite gravel and accessible concrete sections.
Lead rules
Shire of Augusta Margaret River manages the route. Leash rules change along the way: some sections are lead-on, others are signed for off-lead play. The signage at each section is the authority, so treat the first visit as a scouting run and let the signs set the pace.
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 Augusta for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.
Worth knowing
The Augusta suburb guide lists what else is around for the dog. Coastal Walk Trail is the other local walk worth comparing.
