Kings Creek Walk
4.5
98 reviewsAbout
The Kings Creek Walk offers a gentle trail along the base of Kings Canyon, nestled between towering sandstone walls. This 2 km return walk begins at the car park and leads to a raised viewing platform with stunning views of the canyon's sheer cliffs.
Following the same path, walkers return to the car park, making it an easy and accessible option for families and those seeking a shorter, less strenuous experience. The trail is graded as Level 2 (easy) and typically takes around one hour to complete. Sturdy footwear is recommended due to uneven surfaces.
Kings Creek Walk is located in Watarrka National Park, approximately 450 km south-west of Alice Springs. If you're a visitor to the Northern Territory (NT), you need a parks visitor pass to visit Watarrka National Park.

We did the rim walk in the morning and did the creek walk in the afternoon. This is an easier and quicker walk. Some part of it is uneven and right next to the creek. It was a relaxing walk and we had a wonderful time. We got to hear lots of birds and it was a peaceful experience. Also, at the end of the walk, there is a beautiful platform with lots of seating.

A gorgeous walk, very well marked, lots of canopy so relatively shady. We went around 3.30pm and it was pleasant.

An easy walk along the Valley to the viewing platform at end. Lots of info boards along the way about local flora & fauna found at the Canyon floor. Lots of birds to spot along the walk Walk is flat but a little uneven so need to watch your step. Easily reached from tge carpark, which provides plenty of parking & toilets. Much easier than Rim Walk but similar to nearby Kathleen Springs.

Travelled more than 3 hrs from Uluru in hopes to complete the Rim Walk. However upon arriving, we were told by the Ranger that the track was closed due to "extreme heat". The temperature of the day was not extreme weather and we were very disappointed. The alternate walk is the creek walk which is a relatively boring and unremarkable short trek which does not compensate for the 4 hour drive. National park team, please do better to ensure the track can remain open at all times by adding shelters, drinking stations, etc.
