Early transport route established in late I9th Century to cart produce and timber between Eagle Bay and Yelverton (and on to Margaret River). Named after builder of track, Stewart Keenan, a farmer of land at Eagle Bay and Margaret River. The track was also used as a carriageway by other settlers at the time
Before 1900 Stewart Keenan of Eagle Bay developed "Keenan's Track" to trade farm produce with Yelverton's Timber Mill community and also to access his second farm on the Margaret River, at the bridge on Caves Road as it is known today. The earliest route was found to be along the ridges, so eliminating bridges and streams to a great extent.
