Salt Creek is a waterway located on the outskirts of the Coorong National Park in South Australia, serving as a gateway to the remote wilderness region of the Southern Coorong. It is a departure point for paddling experiences, including multi-day expeditions. One primary access point for paddlers is the Middle Beach boat ramp, which provides entry to the creek. From here, paddlers can navigate up and down Salt Creek itself before reaching St Vincent's Gulf. Once in the gulf, there are numerous smaller creeks through surrounding mangrove systems to explore, offering a network of routes. The overall character is that of a remote and wild coastal environment, appealing to kayakers, birdwatchers, and those seeking solitude. The area is known for its mangroves, which are a notable natural feature and habitat for wildlife. A specific recommended route is the Middle Beach Mangroves Paddle, which involves exploring these mangrove creeks. For more experienced kayakers, a guided four-day expedition departs from Salt Creek on Mondays, journeying into the broader Coorong region. This indicates that conditions can be demanding and suitable for skilled paddlers. The creek is also a focus for recreational enhancement, with ongoing discussions about remediation work between the Middle Beach boat ramp and western areas, which may relate to water quality or access improvements.
