Lime Kiln Lake Trail is a 1.4 kilometre return walk in the Yalgorup National Park. This gentle Class 2 trail takes walkers from the original lime kiln used during a short-lived commercial lime venture in the early 1920s, the beginning of the cement industry in Western Australia.

Wander through peppermint and melaleuca trees and the former lime marl settling ponds to the edge of Lake Clifton.

This walk takes you through natural vegetation that has had time to regenerate since operations ceased over 100 years ago. The remnants of infrastructure can be found along the trail both in the woodland and the wetland areas.

About 100 metres into the walk is the turning circle. A small clearing flanked with wooden seating and six stunning artworks that represent the six Noongar seasons by local artists Gloria and Karrie-Anne Kearing.

Snakes have been sighted in this area, please remain on the trail.
