Lake Hope Track

Twenty kilometres west from where the Lake Sharpe Track connects with the Lake King-Norseman Road is the start of the Lake Hope Track. The track heads north from the Lake King-Norseman Road.

This remote track leads through the Bremer Range, along the Honman Ridge and past Lake Hope to the Maggie Hayes mine on the Hyden-Norseman Road. There are numerous shotlines crossing the track along its length.

Lake Hope was named by explorer Frank Hann in 1901 after Joseph Hope, Chief Draftsman of the Lands and Surveys Department, 1896 to 1919.
