This hike is classified as Grade 2 (Easy) due to its distance exceeding the typical Grade 1 limit of 5km. While the terrain itself is relatively easy and may still be suitable for all abilities, feel free to turn back at any point for a shorter adventure.
Set on 60 hectares of bushland, the Erskine Nature Trail is abundant with flora and fauna. The six kilometre easy track skirts the Peel Inlet, offering fantastic views all year round and is a great spot for Birdwatching. Be inspired by the breathtaking scenery of one of the nicest spots in WA's beautiful and diverse Peel Region, not far from the Mandurah City Centre.
The Erskine Nature Trail takes walkers on Boardwalks over the wetlands. There are numerous viewing platforms as well as a Bird hide. The bushland provides plenty of shade and a number of seating alcoves along the way. Although the path is not sealed, it is well maintained and is suitable for wheelchairs and prams. This walk is suitable for anytime of the year, but especially nice in late winter and spring when the wildflowers are in bloom.n

A Gentle Introduction to Inclines: Grade 2 on the
AWTGS represents easy walking tracks that offer a slightly more challenging experience compared to Grade 1. Similar to Grade 1, no prior bushwalking experience is required. The track surface is typically hardened or compacted and may have gentle hill sections or occasional steps. The total distance of a Grade 2 walk is typically no greater than 10 kilometers. These walks are still suitable for families with a bit more experience or those seeking a gentle introduction to some inclines.
