Shannon National Park

Shannon National Park is a 52,500-hectare national park in the Shire of Manjimup, about 55 km south-east of Manjimup and 325 km south of Perth. Gazetted in 1988, it protects old-growth karri forest, the Shannon River and basin, and forms part of the Walpole Wilderness Area. It is notable for the Great Forest Trees Drive, Shannon Dam, historic timber town site and diverse flora and fauna.

Visitors can expect a forested wilderness dominated by tall karri and jarrah forest surrounding the Shannon River. The main visitor experience is the 48 km unsealed Great Forest Trees Drive loop with interpretive stops, Shannon Dam and picnic area, and the Shannon Campground. Facilities are basic and bush-oriented with walking trails, birdwatching, canoeing on the river and dam, and opportunities to see wildflowers in spring. The park is remote with no shops or fuel.
