Lesueur National Park, situated 27 km north-east of Jurien Bay, spans across 26,987 hectares and is renowned for its vibrant wildflower season. The park boasts over 900 plant species, including rare orchids like pink enamel and donkey orchids. Visitors can explore the scenic 14.2-kilometer Turquoise Way Trail offering breathtaking coastal views from Jurien Bay Marina to Hill River Mouth.
We came here over the Kings birthday long weekend for a lovely hike. Should have started early as the flies were being a nuisance. Beautiful warm sunny day with lots of sunshine and blue skies and the views were amazing. Diversity of wildflowers some 900 recorded.
Cervantes and Jurien Bay are fantastic coastal spots, but if you're looking for something beyond the ocean, Lesueur National Park is a must-see! Recommended by the tourist bureau in Jurien Bay, we’re so glad we took the time to explore it.
We hiked to Mount Lesueur and were amazed at how lush and green everything was. The well-marked trails and informative signs detailing native flora added to the experience. This place almost feels like it has its own microclimate—still can't believe how thriving and healthy the vegetation is out here.
The hike is highly recommended, and after being so impressed, I’m definitely coming back to take on the 2-day Yonga Trail. Photos simply don’t do this park justice—it’s an absolute must-visit for nature lovers! 🌿🏔️
Excellent wildflowers in mid August. First loop trail not well marked. Also need to take cocklebiddy road to south entrance of park as its a one way road in park traveling from the South to North exit.

Visit during spring (September/October) for optimal wildflower viewing.
Wear hiking shoes for trails like Yued Ponar Trail which may have steep sections but are generally manageable for most visitors.
Consider taking on longer hikes like the Yonga Trail for a more immersive experience in the park's natural beauty.
Be cautious of flies if visiting during warmer months; starting early can help avoid them.

What a beautiful, geologically interesting National Park. Easy/pay wave entry ($15), good parking & toilets, and a range of trails to walk or hike. We went for wildflower season (July-September) and were not disappointed. 🌸
Fairly easy drive in on sandy road. Sealed one way road through the park with plenty of spots to pull off. A couple of longer walks in designated areas. Wild flowers are just starting to bloom.
