Walk the Yorke, constructed by the Yorke Peninsula Council with the help of state and federal government funding, links a collection of existing coastal walking trails.

Completed just in time for the summer holidays, it features new gravelled sections of path, trail markers, bench seats, signage, shelters with water tanks and picnic settings.

The council says visitors can choose from short walks of up to 90 minutes, day walks, multi-day walks and cycle options, with the trail taking in secluded coves, lighthouses, rugged cliffs and seaside towns.

Port Vincent, Yorke Peninsula.

Examples of walks include:

Port Clinton to Price: 7.8km one way on a compacted gravel trail overlooking mangrove forests, between the seaside town of Port Clinton and Price.

Kangaroo Island lookout to Marion Bay: 19.6km one way on a natural trail along cliff headlands and the beach, with some rock hopping and dune climbing.

Marion Bay to Gleesons Landing: a 59km multi-day walk featuring cliffs, beaches, dunes and woodlands.

Cape Elizabeth (Moonta) to Balgowan bike trail: 46km natural trail through sheoak woodlands and the rear of sand dunes and samphire flats.

Hillocks Drive, Butler’s Beach.

Walk the Yorke is being launched on Sunday (December 13) by the council with a breakfast at Port Vincent Wharf followed by 4km scenic walk. There will also be activities at the Port Vincent Golf Course from 10am until 2pm.

You’ll find more information here, with trail brochures available at the Yorke Peninsula Visitor Centre in Minlaton.
