WALKING TRAILS

We have Two main hiking trails on the Station.

SPEAR CREEK TRAIL (5km, 2 hrs)

Approximately 5km long and the easier walk of the two. A trail up through the valley heading north through the ranges. On this walk you’ll follow the cast iron water line that was laid in 1865 supplying water to Port Augusta from Woolundunga spring. You’ll also find huge rock slides, historic caves and stromatolites (the oldest fossils on earth) on this trail.

DEEP CREEK TRAIL (7km, 5hrs) 

Approximately 7km long and not for the faint hearted. This walk can get tough but is by far the most picturesque. Walk up through deep gorges lined with native cypress pine trees into the Southern Flinders Ranges. On this trail you’ll experience views out over the upper Spencer Gulf. A great picnic spot at the summit on the Quartz rocks we like to call “Crystal falls”.

Walking maps available from the park office.
