Salt Creek in South Australia is a coastal waterway located on the outskirts of the Coorong National Park, offering a remote wilderness paddling experience. The creek flows into St Vincent's Gulf, and paddlers can explore its course as well as the network of creeks through surrounding mangroves. A key access point for paddlers is the Middle Beach boat ramp, which serves as a put-in or take-out location. The area is characterized by its connection to the Coorong, a significant coastal lagoon system, and is a gateway to this region. The overall character is one of a remote and natural environment popular with kayakers, birdwatchers, and fishers. For experienced kayakers, multi-day expeditions departing from Salt Creek into the Coorong are available, with a specific four-day tour offered. The area is also used for 4WD tours and walking trails. There is a recognized effort to remediate and enhance the recreational use of Salt Creek between the Middle Beach boat ramp and a western point, indicating ongoing management of the waterway.
