The Ghost House Trail offers some of the best wilderness walking in Yanchep National Park. It takes us on a natural and cultural journey around the park's most pristine wetlands, namely Loch McNess and North Lake. The trail starts on the western side of Loch McNess on the Yanjidi Trail and finishes at the North Oval Car Park near Cabaret Cave. As we walk, we pass through grand examples of Tuart forest, banksia woodlands and coastal heath. The rocky limestone outcrops are a special feature along the trail and provide scenic vistas of the North Lake and it's surrounds.
After the walk, you may choose to stay on and enjoy a cuppa or even a late lunch at the Tea Rooms, enjoy a coldy in the beer garden at the Yanchep Inn, or perhaps explore the National Park some more, .... it's beautiful and has so much to offer the visitor.
Distance: Approx 12.4km in total (estimated 5 hours including rest breaks)
Terrain: Fairly flat bush track, sandy and rocky in some places however easy to navigate - moderate level of fitness required.
Meeting Point: Out the front of McNess House Visitor's Centre, inside the Yanchep National Park. On entry into the park, you will need to stop at the Entry Station and advise the Ranger that you are with the Adventurous Women ® ™ Group - they will then let you proceed into the park without payment, as your entry fee has been paid in advance by us.

Great bunch of ladies as usual. Gorgeous guides and beaut scenery.
Another great AW excursion around our beautiful city and banks of the Swan River, well-led by the dynamic duo Jazzy and Sue O. Saw lots of interesting features and enjoyed the company of friendly co-walkers. 19km sounds long but was definitely doable.
Wonderful day out. Relaxed pace. Plenty of time to look around. Lots of breaks. HEAPS to see.
Lovely ending with a celebratory drink at the Guildford Hotel at the end. Great Day 🎉🎉
Great walk and location. Weather was perfect and nice group of ladies to chat with.
Fantastic walk with a lovely group and Leonie was so informative, kind and ensured we all had a great time. I was especially appreciative of her help and consideration. My first SA adventurous women outing and I was so pleased to find a warm welcome and amazing afternoon
Lovely late afternoon walk, amazing views for enjoying Chris' delicious mulled cider.
We enjoyed an easy hike on Mt Coot-tha's new Spotted Gum 2.4km track on the way down with more of an uphill challenge on the way back up to the Summit. The group of like minded women was really friendly made for a pleasant outing. Chris is a really nice host.
Such a lovely walk with very kind and friendly people and a great host in Leonie.
