Eagle's View Walk, John Forrest National Park

The trail provides impressive scenery and panoramic views of the Swan Coastal Plain all the way to Perth. It showcases diverse vegetation, including beautiful heath lands, open wandoo woodlands, and mixed jarrah-marri-wandoo trees.

The walk trail starts away from the picnic areas and descends into Jane Brook Valley, offering beautiful views of the city and the ocean. It then fluctuates its way through valleys, creek lines, and hills before returning to the brook. Hovea Falls, a popular spot for a picnic lunch, is located along the trail. The trail features signs every 2 kilometres to provide distance information.

To tackle the trail, walkers can choose to go clockwise or anticlockwise. The walker's logbook and walk trail brochure are available from the ranger's office, and walkers must register before and after the walk. It is recommended to check for alerts and park closures before starting the journey.

The best time to visit Eagle's View Walk Trail is during the winter season when the temperatures are mild and the vegetation is lush. Spring is also a great time to witness the breathtaking display of wildflowers.

Eagle's View Walk Trail is easily accessible by driving from Perth to the John Forrest National Park via Great Eastern Highway or Mundaring. The trailhead is located behind the picnic shelters at the car park on Park Road.
