Summary

A walk through the eastern section of Scott Creek Conservation Park. The park is one of the hidden gems of the Adelaide Hills. There aren’t any marked walking trails, but there is a good network on well signposted fire tracks. The Friends of Scott Creek Conservation Park produce an excellent map; a simple map is available for free from their website, or a detailed topographic map can be purchased:

This walk route starts at Gate 14/17, Matthews Road/Scott Creek Road. Driving directions to the park can be found of the Friends of Scott Creek Conservation Park website.

These instructions are written a clockwise direction:
