Welcome to the Warren Blackwood Stock Route, Western Australia’s longest sanctioned bridle trail and one of the South West’s most unique equestrian adventures.
Stretching 345km from the Scott River region near Nannup to the rugged coastline of Broke Inlet near Walpole, the Warren Blackwood Stock Route follows the historic stock droving paths once travelled by the pioneering farming families of the Southern Forests & Valleys. Winding through towering Karri and Jarrah forests, rolling farmland, picturesque river valleys, and coastal landscapes, the trail offers riders the opportunity to experience the region’s rich heritage and breathtaking natural beauty from horseback.
Designed to be explored in shorter rides or multi-day journeys, the route connects a series of welcoming towns and equine-friendly campsites including Bridgetown, Manjimup, Quinninup, Shannon and beyond. Along the way, riders can immerse themselves in the stories of the stockmen, settlers and communities that helped shape the South West region.
Whether you are seeking a long-distance riding adventure, a weekend escape, or the chance to reconnect with nature and history, the Warren Blackwood Stock Route delivers an unforgettable trail experience through the heart of the Southern Forests & Valleys.
