About the Hopetoun – Ravensthorpe Railway Heritage Walk

A rugged and partially complete rail trail on the south coast of WA. Located on the alignment of a historic government railway built to haul mining and agricultural products to the small port of Hopetoun.

Due to its isolation and ruggedness, this trail is recommended only for experienced hikers.

Four sections of the rail trail are currently open. The three northern sections form a contiguous trail between Ravensthorpe and Lee Creek (just south of Lee Road). The southern section links Dunns Swamp Road with the jetty precinct in Hopetoun. A 16 km section is missing between Lee Creek and Dunns Swamp Road.

In the northern sections the trail surface consists mainly of coarse gravel, whereas the section near Hopetoun can be very sandy in places.
