The Yanjidi Trail terminates at the parking bay adjacent to the road and west of the lake overflow. After walking the trail a trip on the launch "Miss Yanchep" will enable you to gain more insight into the remarkable interaction of life on the lake. Beware of snakes, they occur in the area but are more frightened of you than you are of them. Please leave them alone.
Paperbarks dominate the lake margin on the western side, the trail wends its way through bushland and glimpses of the lake vista can be seen farmed by paperbark branches.
Tuarts are restricted to limestone areas of the western coastal plain south of Perth. Yanchep is their northern range as large trees. The large specimens seen at the tuart rest site are estimated to be about four hundred years old.
Further Information
Over 70 species of plants have been recorded in the area adjacent to the trail, which passes through differing plant habitats. To the north of the causeway section extensive areas of rushes, reeds and sedges have overgrown the wetlands. This is a favoured breeding area for many species of Lake Fauna.
