Walk the Yorke - By Bike Cycling Guide

483 km Loop, Medium, Flat, Quiet Roads/Tracks, Sealed/Unsealed

Get away from it all. Ride on tracks and quiet country roads beside spectacular coastlines. 

Expect fabulous scenery, not many people and delicious fish and chips. This ride suits the cyclist who enjoys peace and quiet but coffee addicts may be in withdrawal.

The official one-way Walk the Yorke (By Bike) route starts in the historic copper mining town of Moonta and ends in Port Wakefield.

There are few buses and taxis on the Peninsula and none of them take bikes. So the route we have mapped is a loop ride starting in Clinton passing through the quaint central town of Maitland and on to Balgowan on the West Coast.

Side trips are provided. Clinton to Port Wakefield goes via salt bush flats and the busy Yorke Highway for a number of kilometres.

A longer loop is also provided as a side trip. This loop takes you across the top of the Peninsula from Clinton to Moonta on a quiet unsealed road. 

The Walk the Yorke trail can be impacted by sand drifts and track works. For the latest information and planning your trip please refer to
