National Park·Quiet, Rugged, Pristine, Remote
Lake Muir National Park is a pristine wilderness destination located approximately 290 kilometres southeast of Perth in the Shire of Manjimup. The park is defined by its complex network of lakes and wetlands, which are part of the broader Muir-Byenup system—a site of international importance under the Ramsar Convention. As a critical component of the Warren River catchment, the area offers a unique look at Western Australia's diverse aquatic and terrestrial habitats. The park is strategically positioned, bordering both Mount Roe National Park and Mount Frankland North National Park, making it an excellent anchor for a broader regional nature expedition. It is an ideal location for visitors interested in conservation, birdwatching, and experiencing the quiet, rugged beauty of the Australian bush.
