A beautiful book about Scott Creek
Conservation Park
Where is Scott Creek Conservation Park?
The Park is situated 28 kilometers south east of Adelaide, near Mount Bold Reservoir.
It has many fire tracks which double as excellent
walking trails and the ridge tracks give superb
views of steep heavily wooded slopes and gullies. The many seasonal creeks give rise
to an enormous variety of native fauna and flora species.
The fire tracks are clearly sign posted and will take
you though some interesting and varied country
including open woodland; grassland; historic
ruins;
there are several mines; and walks beside the
beautiful Scott Creek itself. We have included
some maps to give you an idea of the park's
tracks and access points.
Dogs,
bicycles, horses and camping are not permitted
in the park, though you'll often find them in there despite this.
