About the Walking Trail
Extend the Devils Nose Hike from a return 5.0km to a 8.5km circuit hike by including the Lizard Rock Nature Walk and the Hissey Loop Walk. There are superb views from the rocks at Lizard Rock into Wild Dog Creek. Descend into the South Para River at the northern end of this hike, and glimpse views of Devils Nose from below as you gradually contour around on the ascent to the lookout. The Hissey Loop Walk loops around the main Lake.
National Parks and Wildlife Service SA recommend walking this trail clockwise.
