bushwalkers with a high level of fitness and good navigational skills. Treks usually require an overnight stay and may pass through remote areas. HIKE - Hard Hard Hikes require some hiking experience and a reasonable level of fitness, as some sections of the trail can be quite steep and uneven. Walks, Hikes and Treks HIKE Local emergency numbers /ParksSA Be prepared when bushwalking: Walk Safely Due to the rugged coastline and remoteness of the trails, a careful, responsible and well-planned approach to bushwalking is essential for your safety. Lincoln National Park protects coastal vegetation of the Eyre Peninsula and provides a safe refuge for rare fauna. Visitors may encounter stealthy Heath Goannas, elusive Western Whipbirds and, if camping, experience the haunting call of the Bush Stone-curlew. The Investigator Trail is made up of sections which can be individually walked or hiked - or trekked as a whole. The Investigator Trail and other trails within the park are clearly defined and marked with checkpoints at strategic locations to orientate yourself.

bushwalkers with a high level of fitness and good navigational skills. Treks usually require an overnight stay and may pass through remote areas. HIKE - Hard Hard Hikes require some hiking experience and a reasonable level of fitness, as some sections of the trail can be quite steep and uneven. Walks, Hikes and Treks HIKE Local emergency numbers /ParksSA Be prepared when bushwalking: Walk Safely Due to the rugged coastline and remoteness of the trails, a careful, responsible and well-planned approach to bushwalking is essential for your safety. Lincoln National Park protects coastal vegetation of the Eyre Peninsula and provides a safe refuge for rare fauna. Visitors may encounter stealthy Heath Goannas, elusive Western Whipbirds and, if camping, experience the haunting call of the Bush Stone-curlew. The Investigator Trail is made up of sections which can be individually walked or hiked - or trekked as a whole. The Investigator Trail and other trails within the park are clearly defined and marked with checkpoints at strategic locations to orientate yourself.
