Serpentine National Park is about 50 kilometres or one hour's drive south of Perth and sits on the Darling Scarp. It protects more than 4,300 hectares of land.
The park is known for Serpentine Falls which cascade over a sheer granite face. The Serpentine National Park abounds with the scenic beauty of ancient landforms and forest. It follows the steep slopes of the Serpentine River valley. Early European settlers came in droves to swim, picnic and enjoy a day out in the bush.
Serpentine National Park exhibits a wide variety of plant life with wildflowers best viewed from July to November. Birdlife abounds with about 70 different species including red-capped parrots, western rosellas, red-tailed and white-tailed black-cockatoos, and yellow robins. Kangaroos, wallabies, possums and many other animals call the park home.
A 500 metre walk (also accessible by wheel chair) trail runs along the Serpentine River leading to the Falls. Barbecues picnic areas, public toilets and drinking water are available throughout the Park.
