If you have a smartphone or tablet you can download the free Avenza PDF Map app and have interactive paddling trail maps on hand when you need them. The app uses your device’s built-in GPS to plot your real-time location within the park onto a map. The app can be used without a network connection and without roaming charges. You can also measure area and distance, plot photos, and drop Placemark pins.
The trail starts at the Reserve at the mouth of the river off Bridge Terrace.
From here it winds through picturesque nature reserves on the outskirts of Victor Harbor and ends at about the corner between Cudmore Road and Wattle Terrace.
This is just after the second footbridge and where a tree across the river prevents further access upstream.
