Scott Creek Conservation Park
The Hills' richest pocket of native bushland
The Hills' richest pocket of native bushland
South-west of Mylor, Scott Creek Conservation Park protects one of the most biodiverse remnants of native vegetation in the Adelaide Hills. Its mix of stringybark forest, open woodland and creekline supports an exceptional range of plants and animals.
The park is a stronghold for the endangered southern brown bandicoot and a magnet for birdwatchers, while spring brings a celebrated display of native orchids and wildflowers. A good network of trails — from easy creekside ambles to longer ridge circuits — caters to most walkers.
Quiet, unspoilt and ecologically significant, it's a favourite of Hills locals who value bush over bustle.
