Lesmurdie Falls shows a different side with each season: the cascades are especially impressive in wetter months; in drier months, there are still beautiful views across the Swan Coastal Plain. This lets you make the waterfall or the views the focus of your trip and take the changing seasons into account when planning.

Walking Trails by Length and Character

A short 640 m return walk along Lesmurdie Falls provides access to several lookouts. The 1.5 km Lesmurdie Brook Loop in Mundy Regional Park is family-friendly. For a moderately graded loop, the 2 km Foot of the Falls Trail leads to a lookout over Lesmurdie Falls and continues to the base of the waterfall. The fairly challenging Palm Terrace Walk is the longest of the trails listed, at 5.5 km. As a loop, it passes through Mundy Regional Park and Lesmurdie Falls National Park.

For the two loop walks, length is not the only deciding factor: the Foot of the Falls Trail combines a moderate rating with a lookout and the base of the waterfall. The considerably longer Palm Terrace Walk is fairly challenging and passes through two parks. This lets you compare the routes by their format, destination and level of difficulty.

Exercise and Getting There

Free outdoor fitness equipment is available year-round at Bill Shaw Reserve. This offers another way to include exercise in your stay alongside the walking trails. If you don’t want to focus exclusively on walking routes, the equipment can be a separate activity.

Transperth bus routes 282 and 283 run from Elizabeth Quay Bus Station via Lesmurdie to Kalamunda. If you’re travelling by bus, you can use this route sequence as a starting point for planning. Check the current timetable and service details before travelling, as timetable information is subject to change. Coordinate your departure with your plans for your visit.

Lesmurdie as a Destination for Your Accommodation Search

If you’re looking for a holiday rental, the seasonal appeal of Lesmurdie Falls and the different trail profiles can help you choose your destination. Consider whether the waterfall, the views or a particular type of route is the main draw for your stay. The walking options range from a short return walk to lookouts to longer loops with a stated difficulty level; outdoor fitness equipment also adds to the choice of activities. Compare these options with your travel plans and decide whether Lesmurdie suits your stay. You can then search specifically for a holiday rental in Lesmurdie, without assuming a fixed daily itinerary.
