Yanchep National Park is home to western grey kangaroos which can be seen in abundance early and late in the day. At other times they shelter from the sun so you might be lucky enough to see them resting in shady areas.

The park has nine walk trails designed to suit a variety of age groups, interests and fitness abilities. They range from short trails of 500m to challenging trails up to 46.2km. Each trail has been selected to showcase the unique biodiversity of the northern Swan Coastal Plain.  For more information visit TrailsWA.

Caves for everyone

More than 400 caves have been recorded in the park, and there are many ways you can enjoy them. Crystal Cave, Yonderup Cave, Adventure Caving, Cabaret Cave each offer contrasting experiences. Bookings for Companion Cardholders can be made by contacting the Yanchep Office.

Bird watchers paradise

By Tezza on 15/07/2014

Yanchep Park has to be the best location for bird watching and photography. With all its amenities and attractions it must be the best value day out in the Perth area.

Love this park!

By jpswanson on 23/10/2014

Love my local National Park. Beautiful walk trails covering a range of terrain. The caves are wonderful. Keep your eyes open to explore many cave openings throughout the park. Kangaroos in abundance with many other wildlife. Be careful of snakes when bush walking. I miss the row boats on the lake due to reduced water levels.
