About this place

*The Bald Head Walk Trail is closed from Isthmus Hill point from 1 February 2022 due to maintenance works. For more information visit Park Alerts. 

Hardcore bushwalkers can enjoy this difficult 10km return, 6-8 hour long hike over Isthmus Hill to Flinders Peninsula.

Terrain is steep and difficult in sections - do not attempt to return via the beaches due to unseen hazards. This walk goes through Limestone Head and ends at Bald Head, a round headland of domed granite, sloping down into the ocean which can be seen from many places along the Torndirrup Coast.

Fishing is permitted at Bald Head, the eastern extremity of the park.
