The Kep Track is a bicycle, walking and horse track between Mundaring and Northam.

It commences at Mundaring Weir and proceeds through Chidlow, Wooroloo, Wundowie, Bakers Hill and Clackline to Northam, for approximately 75 kilometres (47 mi).[2][3] It is based on the route of the former Western Australian Government Railways Eastern Railway from Mundaring to Clackline, then following the Goldfields Water Supply Scheme pipeline route through to Northam.

The promotion and planning of the track[4] is linked in with the Golden Pipeline Project[5] of the National Trust of Western Australia.[6]
