Denmark to Nornalup Rail Trail is a 54.5km, grade 2 hike located in the Regional Western Australia, Western Australia. The hike should take around 4 days to complete.
Hike summary
The trail is currently in three sections: -
A variety of coastal, forest, farmland and coast heathland views
There are three sections of this trail currently open, Wilsons Inlet to Denmark, Denmark to Parker Rd, and Peaceful Bay Rd at Bow Bridge to Nornalup.
There are four original timber rail bridges in use on the trail.
As with many Western Australian rail trails, wild flowers abound in spring.
The Torbay to Elleker Rail Trail is 20km east of Denmark. This trail is part of the same old railway corridor.
Denmark River mouth on Inlet Drive is the trail hub and accessed adjacent to the Denmark Caravan Park at the southern end of Hollings Rd. It is where the Denmark River flows into the Wilson Inlet, and this is where the Bibbulmun track, the Denmark to Nornalup Heritage Trail, the Wilson Inlet Heritage Trail, the Mokare Trail and still other Denmark walk trails meet and intersect.
Wilson inlet has an area of about 48 square kilometres. A sand bar forms at the mouth of the inlet meaning that for much of the year the inlet is isolated from the sea.

Let someone know before you go
It’s a good idea to let someone know where you’re going. Fill in a trip intention form to send important details about your trip to your emergency contact. If you are lost or require help and have phone reception, call 000 and ask for police. The international standard emergency number is 112, if you dial this number in Australia you will be treated exactly the same as a 000 call. If you believe your life is at risk, activate your personal locator beacon (PLB), then make your position visible to rescue teams and keep warm and dry.
