Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Before arriving here, I’d forgotten that I’ve visited here before.
There is a short walk to the man made dam, although it’s more of a pond than a dam.
The path is wheelchair and pram friendly, with longer walks available. It’s a nice forest to visit for a couple of hours if you’re in the area, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to visit here.

A group of 11 of us visited for a barbeque and really enjoyed the bush location and the surrounding walks. The barbeques were spotlessly clean as were the toilets. There are covered tables and bench seats. It's a great place to visit.

Some nice bush and walks here. We did one of the walks and would like to have done more - allow plenty of time as there are a number of walks to choose from of varying lengths. We got a bit confused by the walk signs at one point but we worked it out! If we had to choose between these walks and those in Wellington Discovery Forest we'd choose the later - they were stunning, but this is worth a visit too if you like natural history.

Our family come to Crooked Brook Forest a lot. The range of walking trails means we can walk to suit the weather and time available. Spring is just fantastic with a huge range of wildflowers and the gas BBQs are always clean .Who does this? The paved path makes the forest accessible for people who need a smooth surface and we see kids on bikes and scooters as well as others in wheelchairs.

This place must be amazing during wildflower season! We visited in winter, but were still very impressed. There's ample parking, plus basic toilets, and lots of picnic tables and BBQs, all in a wonderful bush setting. The trails are all well-marked, and there are several different options, including a short walk to a watering hole, and some longer walks such the walk to a lookout with views of the area. There's also several information posters, and even free brochures with maps of all the trails. We'll definitely be back some other time with more of our family for a BBQ and a family walk!

Great place to walk, choice of bitumen paths and bushland tracks. Picturesque bushland with many grass trees leading to a dam and low bridges. Meander through Jarrah and Marri trees, breathe in the crisp fresh air. Lots of seats along the way if you need to rest. Sounds of frogs, rolling streams and wind through the trees. Quiet peaceful place to relax and enjoy getting back in touch with all your senses. Beautiful birds happily chirping and flitting about. Very special getting back to nature and enjoying the warm sun, fresh air and exercise.
There are new bbq's but the gas bottles aren't connected!! Plenty of places to enjoy a picnic.
Very clean, maintained toilet blocks - long drop bush toilets.
Large area to park with ease.
Worth a visit especially if you enjoy hiking or want a quiet retreat.

Going for one of the 4 walks in this forest is peaceful and relaxing. Due to the time of day I arrived, I ended up only doing the 600m dam walk which was an easy walk with informative signage along the route.
Unfortunately because of the time of year I visited, the dam was nearly dry, so might be best to go back later in the years after it's had some water.
Nice and peaceful here too.

Our friends took us on the Crooked Brook Forest wildflower trail and I just loved it. Amazing the number of flowers we saw, plus we heard the laughing kookaburra while on the trail. Easy trail. Probably best to be sure you have the right time of year for the flowers.

What a spectacular day we got when visiting this beautiful forest in The Ferguson Valley. We only had eyes for the Marri walk which was 10km of reasonably easy and well marked hike. We were blessed by all the wildflowers out in all their glory. I would recommend that everyone visits this forest in spring to experience what we saw. A truely beautiful bush walk.

I've been here before and wanted to return during wildflower season for a longer walk. It was the end of September, but there were still plenty of wildflowers everywhere, with lots of yellow (e.g. Cowslip Orchids), as well as blue (e.g. Blue Leschenaultias) white, and orange. There was also plenty of water in the waterhole, which was almost dry the previous time I visited.
The short walk allows you to see most of the flowers in the area, but I did the 10km loop, which was quite scenic in places. That wasn't busy at all, and I didn't see anybody else for the entire walk. I did the anti-clockwise direction, which means that the final stretch includes the lookout over the valley.
There are some stretches that are along fire breaks, and alongside paddocks, so it's not all through bush, but the majority certainly is. Walking is fairly straight fowards, with some up and down, but nothing difficult. Signage is very clear, so you really can't go wrong.
It must be a popular spot at this time of the year, being wildflower season and school holidays, and the car park was packed - although part of this seemed to be some seniors outing. It's about half an hour out of Bunbury, but there are plenty of other attractions in the Ferguson Valley to combine this with.

Are dogs allowed? No signage for dog owners. We did ask a woman with 2 dogs to keep them on the lead but realised there were no signs so it was probably ok for them to be there without their leads.
Written 15 October 2017
I'm not sure if dogs are allowed. There were other people there with a dog that they didn't have on a leash. I guess it is a national park and you'd probably better check with local councils before taking your dog or allowing it off the lead.
