Glen Brook Circuit

Starting from the car park off Park Road, Hovea, this walk takes you on a stroll around the Glen Brook Dam in John Forrest National Park. This walk is suitable for families and children, with picnic facilities provided around the area. The park's plantation is rich, and it hosts gardens of native plants for enthusiasts. As the other parts of the park are undeveloped, it is possible to encounter the wildlife in the area as well. You can also enjoy the open views of the dam before or after you have a little picnic. The walk is suitable for all fitness levels. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
