Serpentine National Park
Serpentine National Park is one of the most spectacular nature spots in the metro area, and it’s only about 50 minutes south of Perth!

Cultural Recognition
We recognise and acknowledge Binjareb/Pinjarup, Ganeang and Wilman people as the traditional owners of Serpentine National Park.
Overview of Serpentine National Park
The main attraction of the park is Serpentine Falls – a 15 metre waterfall that flows from the Serpentine River and cascades over granite outcrops, into a natural pool.
There are four (4) trails to explore in the park that take visitors through the beautiful surrounding bushland. Keep an eye out for kangaroos that are frequently spotted in the area, native birds, and wildflowers.
Wheelchair accessible toilets and a large picnic area are located close to Serpentine Falls. The path from the picnic area to the falls is mostly accessible, except for some small steps leading into the pool at the bottom of the falls.
No pets are allowed in this Serpentine National Park. Fees apply for entry, which contribute to park management, including protection of the environment and the development and maintenance of visitor services and facilities.
