What makes it 84% Solo-Friendly: Solo hikers get free entry, varied trails and photo lookouts plus optional guided walks, but they must bring all water and a car because no on-site supplies or reliable buses exist.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for solo trip: Allows time for Valley Loop Trail, waterfall photography, and a short guided sunset hike.
Valley Loop Trail:
3 km return self-guided hike through forest to overlooks and waterfall base.
Tip: Start at the main car park. Follow signs and stay on class-3 trail. Bring water and a snack.
Head of the Falls Lookout:
400 m easy walk from Falls Road car park to viewing platform above the 50 m waterfall.
Tip: Visit at sunrise or after winter rains for best light and strong water flow.
Birdwatching and Wildflowers:
Spot bright blue fairy wrens and seasonal wildflowers along Lesmurdie Brook.
Tip: Carry binoculars in winter and spring. Walk slowly along the Brook Loop to see blooms.
Sunset Guided Hike:
Small-group 1.5 hr guided hike to the falls with sunset views and optional bubbles.
Tip: Book in advance. Wear layers and bring a headlamp if staying after dusk.

My best day in perth. Lovely place. Went there at about 28°C but the wind made it alright. Lookout point is cool, Perth really is a very flat city. You can climb up to the side of the waterfall too. The lower car park is more accessible via bus.

The trail wasn't made well, uneven with pebble...

Stunning! Worth the drive. Enjoyable path, views, park. Well maintained and cared for. Keep children close as there are steep hills, slippery trails, and sharp inclines near the paths. We suggest getting there early in the morning. 6-9am at least. Less people and easier parking.

Lesmurdie Falls is a great spot for a quick nature escape.The walk to the falls is easy and relaxing.perfect for all ages.The waterfall itself is beautiful, especially after rain. It’s peaceful, the air feels fresh, and there’s plenty of space to enjoy a picnic or take photos.

What a lovely area to visit for an easy to moderate hike! We came here in the month of April and the weather was fantastic. Not too hot and not too cold - clear blue skies with very fresh air. This area is a little busier than the rest during the middle of the day but isn’t too crowded. We did the Lesmurdie Brook Loop and the great thing with this path is it can connect to other areas - this give...
After winter rains (June–August) the waterfall has best flow. Spring (September–November) brings wildflowers along trails.
