So glad that we discovered this part of Perth! Wild flowers and endemic plants and animals to enjoy.

Looking for a true outback experience? walk or bike in the footsteps of railway history on this enchanting trail. Holes remain in the rocks from the dynamite blasts of days long past and you're sure to encounter a Kangaroo on this rich red earth Australian disused railway line!

John Forrest National park is a very good reserve for outing. It is preferred to take drinking water with you. There are some attraction sites including natural falls.

Beautiful spot for an escape into the bush and not far from the city. Lots of interesting history here as Western Australia’s first National Park. Lots of friendly local kangaroos and people. The walk to the tunnel is really nice. Can’t wait to come back after some rain to see the waterfall.

John Forrest isn’t your typical park but rather memorabilia of Western Australia history. The park offers variety of treks that allows you to explore different parts of the park on foot, bikes and driving. There are beautiful scenery from the scenic river to the beautiful wild flower. As a visitor you have the option of picnic or having a meal at the John Forrest tavern. At Tavern you will have an opportunity to interact with the kangaroos🦘🦘. I Loved the whole experience , will definitely do visit the park again. Ps the flies will be your accompany you through out your adventure.

BBQ area good. Facilities and walks good. Unfortunately no water at all in streams for kids to play. Probably better on winter.

Great place for a walk. Lots of different walking options. Flat walks to more off piste walks. Trails are well directed with regular markers, so you can't get lost. Nice picnic areas. Good for families as well as avid walkers.

We love taking our young sons here to explore, hike and play. You typically need to pay an entrance fee as it is a National Park, though you can pay for annual entrance fee. There is ample car parking, though it can get super packed! Toilet block, picnic benches and lots of areas to set up for a lunch. The trails are generally well sign posted. A great spot not too far out of Perth.

Had a quick hike and picnic on a sunday morning. The park have different levels of hike trail difficulties suited for all ages. We took one of the short trails and we enjoyed the scenery and beauty of nature. They have a number of picnic tables at the entrance. We also saw a group of kangaroos roaming around which was quite common in the place. Definitely worth a visit for relaxation, exercise and family bonding.

Great national park full of lovely views, nature and points of historical interest. Some nice spots to have a picnic and BBQ as well, although there are large areas of the park in the natural state with few or no amenities. Make sure you plan your visit as some of the best spots are only accessible by foot/bike and take a while to get to.

Its a well maintain forest. I like the trails. Love the view and the the story of the place as well. My suggestion is prepare water bottle as you go trail, especially on the hot summer like now. They do have a great picnic area.

Great place for a walk, hike or bike ride. Recent rain has really had a wonderful affect on the bushland. Free parking is available off Morrison Rd and you'll be just a short walk from the historic Swan View Tunnel. Remember to take water with you on your walk and I'd suggest sticking to the trails & pathways. Amazing views will surround you as you wander through a native bushland.

Wow! 😍 My first time here with my family and we loved it! Beautiful scenery and views and the area is massive! We are definitely planning to go back to see more of this place, we only covered around 6kms and I couldn't tell you which trail we did 😅

A beautiful location around 30 mins from Perth providing bbq / picnic facilities, toilets and plenty of parking but be warned, it's $15 entry per car. Make a day if it and get your entry fees worth. Walking trails of various lengths with waterfalls nearby. Dont forget a hat and sunscreen. I wouldn't recommend going during rain or extreme heat. Spring and autumn is a great time.

Beautiful hike with amazing views including a waterfall and a tunnel to walk through. Many walk options with different difficulties and length. Also offer's bike riding tracks.

A good place to walk, enjoy the view and have a good day of picnic. Be sure to use sunscreen, wear a hat and bring a liter or more of water per person. 😊

Great little walk and specifically for the Tunnel. It's an interesting part of WA history that more people should know about. But it's cool how most things built in the late 1800s were linked, from Fremantle to the Perth Mint to this Tunnel, they all played a part in the bigger scheme that was Western Australia at the time. Go on, go check it out

i love national parks, but if i had a penny for everytime i had lost my xbox 360 limited edition pants, i would have enough money to buy a new pair of xbox 360 limited edition pants.

First time here but was late afternoon. Wish we arrived sooner. Great scenery, love the waterfalls and excellent walk/jogging/cycling path. Would love to come back again soon to explore it more. Kids loved it too.

The John Forrest National Park is a great place to spend your day. The park is well cared for and has many opportunities for enjoyment for all ages. If you want to spend time around the @John_forrest_wild_flower_tavern you can. You can spend time around the tavern at any one of the BBQ areas. If you're into fitness, the park has some great walks that caters for most fitness levels. Because it a national park, there will be a admission charge. We paid $15.00 to enter in the car. Well worth the trip from Perth. Note: if you plan to undertake any of the walks, make sure you are equipped. (Suitable walking footwear, water, sun hat and glasses. Something to eat is also recommended)

Peaceful and picturesque. The walk combined with the tranquillity you will experience is a blessing in itself. Look out over the mountains as you walk or keep on the lookout for wildlife as you stroll through as the mountains are teeming with life. I did a short loop through the Swan view Tunnel but will definitely return and make a day of it at some point. Go by yourself or go with friends and family I believe you'll all have a nice time

Beautiful place and perfect weekend breakaway for family! No words can describe these majestic landscapes Just come and enjoy Plenty of parking and picnics area

Not much water last week but still a great walk and a beautiful park to visit. The ladies at the Tav were super friendly as well! With a nice ice-cream sandwich to cool off after a picturesque hike, what's not to love?

Great walks for most abilities. Top little nature play area; a lot of balancing stuff. Beautiful spot for a picnic. Great at this time of year (Spring) for the wildflowers.

Visited John Forrest National Park to do the 15KM Eagles View Walk (which I would highly recommend). We also walked to the Swan View Tunnel along the old railway. Our total hike was about 21KM. The park and hiking trails are well kept. Great views back to the city from the trails. Toilets were clean. Lots of picnic benches. Paid $15 (per car) to enter the park. The park was very quiet when we arrived at 8AM on a Monday. There were a few people around when we left at midday.

Had a beautiful day out with long walks & to the Swan view tunnel, had a picnic with loads to see. Checked my first kookaburra, parrots 🦜 kangaroos, the barbecue area's clean and well run, 👌 beautiful park.

excellent. the water falls are amazing

Simply Stunning! Many hiking tracks of varying difficulty levels, or just come to play with the kids - definitely recommend coming between autumn and early spring if you want to see the falls in action. Lots of wildflowers and native animals, with picnic areas and toilets. Perfect day out.

Excellent place to explore as a mini get away from the city. There are walking and cycling trails, picnic and bbq areas, and a cafe. You can relax and watch the birds and kangaroos or go on a walk to enjoy the nature and flowers. The entry costs $15 per vehicle which you pay at the entrance to the area (there is a parking machine that takes both card and cash).

So beautiful I work underground and I think of this everyday when travel 1.8 km and some . Love my job but love this more. Fresh Air Base for the mind

Love this place! It has many different walking trails to take with different difficulties, you will most likely see some heritage places like the tunnel.along your walk. Plenty of spots to park at different entrances to the park. There aren't many toilets but there are some at the main visitor area

This is a great national park to visit with family. Roughly an hour from Perth. We went in summer, so there was no much water, but there was still plenty of things to do especially for families. Lots of good walks and exploring. Few geocaches around. and if you stay till the afternoon, you can either witness the pub feeding the local kangaroos.

No dogs/pets allowed. Place is good if you want to walk in trail, get inside the tunnel and falls, Good place to spend time with your family and friends. There is picnic area as well.

Beautiful spot but just be aware it's $15 to get in

Suck a great place for hiking. big area. Water falls are beautiful to watch and take photos with. And there is historical train tunnel which is interesting. I do recommend it

Great walking trails and views.

Pity it cost $15 to enter the park. Should be better amenities, nicer road and wider to drive on and no dead bodies in the dam

Beautiful national park with great picnic facilities and walking tracks of varying lengths and difficulties. The national park waterfall was unfortunately dried up so would recommend going after a few days of rain if you wish to see it!

Something for everyone..choose your path. Don't forget a hat and plenty of water.

Phenomenonal facility with something for everyone. Cream, and very well maintained.

A lovely national park with relics from its history preserved alongside new amenities. Friendly kangaroos that frequent the tavern are a tourist drawcard, but the tavern will be bulldozed soon, to make way for more carpark and a Cafe, I believe. A Park Pass entry fee is paid per car on entry to the park ($15). Good walking trails. Public toilets. Plenty of wildlife. Well worth a visit and an awesome place to take overseas and interstate visitors.

Lovely spot for a picnic or BBQ with the family, play equipment for the kids and lite walking tracks for everyone. The tavern can get a bit crowded and busy around lunchtime so get your kids ice-cream early to avoid a wait.

Beautiful place to be after work to relax

Natural beauty! And kangaroos everywhere at the tavern.

Great place, can't wait to explore it more

Great fun to visit

Fantastic location for a long or short walk, lots of parking and well marked out walking tracks. The tunnel was great and only a short 700m walk, fantastic views and only 10min drive from Midland shops! Will be back for the longer walks. Well worth doing.

This is a beautiful place offering many adventures

John Forrest, nice place for walking and cycling with your frens and family. The parrots are really friendly they come to you sit on ur head. Nice gateway place to enjoy your weekend and too far.

My first time hiking and it was beautiful in the morning. Well worth the trip with friends! Along the trails there's plenty of signs with information about where you are and the history behind the location.

amazing place to connect with nature, and go hiking... even has a beautiful picnic area with barbecue grills

Just recently renovated. Lots of walk paths, either you just want a short stroll or getting your cardio up and a small pub for a quick feed with a big family of friendly kangaroos just outside. Abundant parking and picnic areas, multiple toilet facilities available.

Lovely hikes, and lots of kangaroos around the Tavern. The Swan view tunnel is a real interesting site. The heritage trail looks like an awesome bike path. Nice nature playground for the kids.

Very beautiful place

amazing scenery

Nice place for a walk, very peaceful

First time at John Forrest National Park and loved everything about it. A beautiful, natural place to hike, bicycle or have a picnic. :).

Lots of walking hike trail action, be sure to keep your wits about you as lots of movement in the bushes... snakes, lizards, kangaroos or skinks. They all make me jumpy!

Great place, for star gazing at night, when the lights go out.

Great views of the city

If you got time, highly recommend doing the Eagle View Track

Very good .but a bit more shade ln the shelters from the weather would be better it was a very nice place when the rail was there and the park was always full even in the pool but we don't seem to be able to keep the her at age alive these days and times. very good place we all used to walk down the line to the tunnel that's history. like it a lot

Beautiful Falls, lots of photo ops. Nice hike not too hard for beginners

Lovely place. Gorgeous view of the city at night

Beautiful spot. $15 entry is a bit steep in the middle of a covid pandemic and no soap provided in the toilets? Come on WA. Do better.

Great place to get away to.

Kickass park, the pitch black old rail tunnel is a must, along with both waterfalls. If there's no water, go for the views! The place is bicycle friendly, with locking points at the waterfalls. Plenty of hiking trails as well for the more adventurous. You'll have to pay an entry fee to get in here unless you have a National Parks Pass - a worthy investment in Perth if you like the outdoors!

Amazing 🤩 place I ever visited

Beautiful spot to watching sunset ,wildflowers 9

A lovely place to spend more than a few afternoons, lots to see and plenty of features

Such a great location, so close to Perth. Beautiful flowers, birds and wildlife at this time of year.

Love it!

Such an amazing place. Its like going back in time as you walk past the valley toward the old train tunnel. What a feeling 🙂so much to explore we took the kids up and over the tunnel on the way back and they had so much fun making there way through old tracks .

Great spot for kids

We did the 6km hiking trail through the Swan view tunnel and Falls. The view was beautiful, the trail was quite easy and flat with cool historic facts along the way. Make sure to swing by the John Forrest Tavern afterwards to hang out with the kangaroos!

Very nice

One of the best views over Perth

Tried to visit the Tunnel after tempting through Goog. Totally buggered. No sitting spaces. No water. Nothing on the way. Disaster Tunnel. Needs lots of improvement Guys.
