The Up the Creek project has seen the completion of a 1.5 km walk trail – the Lesmurdie Brook Loop Trail (details). This trail is of a very high standard and most people will find it an easy and very rewarding walk. It links up with the trails heading down past the Falls to Forrestfield and thus it is possible to walk all the way from Palm Terrace in Forrestfield to the eastern boundary of the Lesmurdie Falls National Park in Lesmurdie – and return on a separate section of the path for most of the eastern half of that trail. There are three bridges and three stone crossings over the brook linking the two arms of the walk. So whether you want an energetic long walk or a short saunter, there are options available.
Another part of the Up the Creek project is the design and construction of seating by local craftsman, Pieter Baarspul, for the rest points along the trail. These seats are not standard park benches but rather are specially tailored to fit into the natural environment using bush timber for a large part of their construction. Five seats have been installed and Pieter has also designed and installed the much admired hand rails which adorn our bridges.
