Knolls Walk Trail
Walpole-Nornalup NP
About This Walk
When you're walking in the Walpole-Nornalup National Park, almost completely surrounded by the Walpole and Nornalup Inlets Marine Park, you would expect something special. Luckily, this trail delivers the goods!
You'll wander though several different types of forest. The tall karri forest shelters lush undergrowth which is a riot of colour in spring as the wildflowers bloom. Jarrah and marri forest through the central part of the trail give way to shady peppermint groves.
This trail is an orchid spotters paradise with many species such as bunny, karri spider and cowslip orchids nestled among the undergrowth in season. In the wetter months, the colours and variety of fungi really have to be seen to be believed.
