Beelu National Park lies in the Perth Hills, about 40 km east of Perth, with bushland, walking tracks, picnic areas and cycling routes. The Dell is a practical starting point, with public facilities near the paths; from there, the South Ledge loop is mostly flat and signposted. Spring brings flowers along the route, while lookouts on the Helena trail reward a walk with views. You can also explore sections of the Bibbulmun Track and Munda Biddi Trail, or visit the Perth Hills Discovery Centre.
Walking and cycling tracks
The park’s trails include sections of the Bibbulmun Track and the Munda Biddi Trail, a route for mountain biking. The Dell to South Ledge walk forms a signposted loop, with mostly flat terrain and little climbing. In spring, flowers add colour along the route.
The Helena trail has a lookout, and other tracks pass through the bushland around Mundaring Weir and the Helena River Valley. The park covers a wide area, so there are several recreation sites to choose from rather than one central starting point.
Picnic areas and park facilities
Picnic areas are spread across sites including The Dell, South Ledge, Grevillea Mycumbene, Fred Jacoby Park, Farrel Grove, Gugin Hulley and Pimelea Mycumbene. Public facilities at The Dell sit near the walking and cycling paths, making it a useful place to begin an outing.
The Perth Hills Discovery Centre provides an educational stop within the park. Nearby Mundaring Weir is another notable feature of the area, with views over the water and surrounding hills.
