Castle Rock

Highlights

Castle Rock is a fantastic destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts. The trail to the summit takes you through forests of yate, marri, and karri trees, leading to breathtaking views of the Porongurup Range. Along the way, you’ll pass Balancing Rock, a unique natural formation that’s perfect for photos.

At the summit, the Granite Skywalk offers incredible views and a thrilling experience as you scramble over rocks and climb a ladder to reach the platform. It’s a challenging but rewarding hike that’s well worth the effort.

Adult Supervision Recommended

The steep trail and climbing sections make adult supervision essential for younger hikers.
