Hike summary

This is an eight kilometre loop walk, taking in the summit of Mount Clare , the Deep River suspension bridge and the beautiful karri and tingle forest.

The Deep River represents the entrance to the Walpole Wilderness area, which embraces seven National Parks, Forest Conservation Areas and Nature Reserves, totalling 363,000 hectares, including areas of classified wilderness. About 20,000 hectares within the Walpole Wilderness area are classified as "wilderness".

The track leaves the Mount Clare parking area and follows the Bibbulmun Track to the summit of Mount Clare. It then descends via the Bibbulmun Track to the suspension bridge on the Deep River. After returning to Shedley Drive, and turning left, the trail follows Shedley Drive for approximately five kilometres before reaching Tinglewood Drive. A right turn returns the hiker to the starting point.

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.
