Overview of Lane Poole Reserve
Lane Poole Reserve is located just outside of Dwellingup in the Murray River Valley; about 1.5 hours by car from Perth City. This part of the valley consists of beautiful forest, rolling hills, and of course, the meandering Murray River.
Dwaarlindjirraap is a popular spot in the Reserve, and is the perfect place to swim, paddle, or picnic by the river. Barbecues, accessible toilets and accessible parking are available here too. Always be mindful around water (read our Safety section for more information).
There are plenty more places to explore, so be sure to check out our Points of Interest section. Dogs are welcome in some areas (check signage) and must be kept on a leash at all times.
