The Karri Lake Trail is one of many family friendly walks around the quiet country town of Quinninup. The 3.3 kilometre hike takes you around the perimeter of Karri Lake, ducking in and out of lush forest that is littered with several kinds of moss and wildflowers.
Set deep in the heart of Karri forest, Quinninup has some great walks that provide stunning landscapes and idyllic scenes. Karri Lake is one of those walks and it takes you around the perimeter of the town’s water supply. On one side of the lake is pristine Karri forest packed full of fallen logs, many varieties of moss and a thick covering of towering Karri trees. On the other side of the lake is a collection of local residence nestled in the Karri forest. Be on the lookout for the friendly locals, either a mob of kangaroos or a family having breakfast on their balcony. This 3.3km will keep the kids well entertained and provide a relaxing walk away from distractions of everyday life.

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.
A short 25 minute drive south of Manjimup or east of Pemberton, Quinninup is situated at the corner of the historic stock route to the coast which is now Wheatley Coast Road and the South-West Highway amongst giant ancient Karri forests.
Quinninup, in the local Aboriginal language, means the 'place of Zamia Palm'. The forest and bush land surrounding Quinninup offers a unique variety of flora and fauna and rare orchids only found in the forests of the South-West of Western Australia.
