Description of Walk:
Canning River Regional Park extends for six kilometres along both sides of the Canning River. First set aside for public use in the 19th century, today the park consists of large areas of parkland for public recreation and extensive wetlands managed for the protection of biodiversity. Given the flatness of the park, it is possible to experience total enclosure in a natural setting while being surrounded by suburbia. The park contains a well developed network of dual-use paths that provide visitors with ready access to most areas, as well as a convenient link between residential areas on the south side of the Canning River and the commercial centre in Cannington.
