Starting from the Carcase Rock Campground off Donington Road, Lincoln National Park, this walk takes you to MacLaren Point. Lincoln National Park is a rugged peninsula that boasts some of the most scenic coastlines in South Australia, with granite headlands, sheltered bays, sandy beaches and offshore islands, featuring an exten­sive net­work of walk­ing trails that pass through native scrub and wood­land, across beach­es and along clifftops where visitors may spot sea-eagles, dolphins or whales. The park encompasses the vast Sleaford-Wanna sand dune system and the beautiful Memory Cove Wilderness Protection Area, protecting important coastal vegetation of the Eyre Peninsula and providing habitat for rare fauna such as heath goannas, western whipbirds and the bush stone-curlew. This moderately challenging walk winds through coastal mallee along the coastline between Carcase Rock and MacLaren Point, staying sheltered behind the foredunes and offering spectacular coastal views along the way. Both Carcase Rock and MacLaren Point have white sandy beaches with safe, sheltered waters that are ideal for swimming. The walk begins from the Carcase Rock Campground, which is accessible by 4WD only, suitable for tents and off-road camper trailers and has no facilities. This walk consists of narrow, gently undulating walking trails and fire tracks, with uneven natural surfaces and compacted natural surfaces, suitable for average fitness levels, and can be done in either direction. 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.
