Starting from the Snake Lagoon Campsite at the end of Snake Lagoon Road, Flinders Chase National Park, this walk takes you to the Rocky River Mouth and back via the Snake Lagoon Hike. Located on the western end of Kangaroo Island, this popular trail winds through sugar gums and mallee before descending into the Rocky River valley and following a boardwalk across the river, passing several unique rock formations. The trail continues to the river mouth where it meets the ocean, providing spectacular views through the valley and across the Southern Ocean, ending at a beautiful white sand beach with caves and large rocks. Along the way, the trail passes a lagoon with a small waterfall, which is a great spot to relax and enjoy the scenery. This hike consists of narrow walking trails with some gentle hills, rocky terrain and uneven natural surfaces, suitable for average fitness levels. The beach isn't suitable for swimming as it's secluded, unpatrolled and has strong waves and rip currents. Flinders Chase National Park is regenerating naturally after the 2019-2020 bushfires. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
