Lake Claremont Wildflower Walk

Come along for a walk with Greg Simpson from The Friends of Lake Claremont as our guide. We will have a loop walk around the lake looking at the recent restoration sites as well as at the hidden remnant bushland patches. Greg knows a lot of stories about this area so you don’t want to missed out on this outing.

Where: we will start & finnish at the Golf Course Carpark with nearby Café at 7 Lapsley Rd, Claremont, WA. Bring enthusiasm & comfortable shoes. A slow stroll should not take more than 3 hours.

Lake Claremont is part of a chain of shallow ephemeral wetlands that run north-south along the intersection of the calcareous Quindalup and Spearwood aeolian dune systems at the western edge of the Swan Coastal Plain. The waterbody of the lake is a surface expression of the fresh superficial aquifer and is subject to seasonal wetting and drying.

The lake is located approximately 8 km west-southwest of Perth’s CBD, 1.5 km north of the Swan River and 2 km east of the coast.
