Lake Leschenaultia has a fun pump track to play on where you can hone your skills.

Walking trails

Walk or cycle 3km around the Lake perimeter to view a range of native trees like marri and wandoo, together with an abundance of bird life including ducks, geese, herons and swamp hens.

There is also a 4km Cockatoo Trail loop walk within the reserve. This trail gently winds through the forest to the north of the lake and is particularly attractive during the wildflower season.

Orienteering

The following information has been provided by Orienteering Western Australia.

There are 4 standard line courses and the Scatter course, with all 20 controls.

 Please note:

  • For individuals and small groups, no booking is required to use any of the orienteering courses. However, school and larger groups should contact the Perth Hills Mundaring Visitor Centre on 9290 6736 to ensure there are no conflicting activities scheduled for the area.
  • The most suitable parking for those wishing to use the orienteering courses is east of the main entrance, as it is close to the main toilet block.
  • The start and finish for all these courses is the large shelter between the Reflections Coffee & Kiosk and the beach. Other starts could be used by anyone prepared to design their own course using the existing control sites shown on the 'all controls' scatter course map.
  • The safety bearing on all courses is downhill to the lake.
