Overview

The Onkaparinga river estuary and wetlands extend for over 10 kilometres from the river mouth at Port Noarlunga to the historic township of Old Noarlunga. The subtle beat of the wetland is most vibrant in spring after the winter rains. The Wetland Trail in Onkaparinga National Park gives an informative insight into the environment and offers good opportunities for walkers, bird watchers and photographers alike. A parking area with barbecues lies at the head of the trail, off River Road. The river estuary is a popular spot for local fishermen in search of mullet and black bream.
