Finke River Trailhead

The Finke River Trailhead is nearby to the junction of Ormiston and Davenport Creeks where the Finke River begins.

Runoff stored in the sands beneath watercourses means that the creeks and rivers harbour areas of great biodiversity and continuous growth. The river ecosystem is dominated by towering River Red Gums, plants which require enormous amounts of water.

Camping is permitted at the Finke River Trailhead by Larapinta Trail walkers only, there is no vehicle access to this area. You can also take advantage of the close proximity of Glen Helen Resort and utilise the camping facilities there, approximately a 1 hour walk from the Trailhead.

Section 10 of the Larapinta Trail is graded as medium - a narrow track which may be rough in places, with some climbing and descending, suitable for people who walk regularly.
