The Port River is a 'living river', supporting life from its muddy bottom to its clear waters and varied shores.

Find out how the River has evolved over time, how it is a living system and what it offers our community.

The 2.8 km walk begins at the Healing Mural and Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary display, located in the inside courtyard of the Port Adelaide Visitor Information Centre, Commercial Road, and it ends near Mangrove Cove, close to the Ethelton Railway Station.

The 2-hour walk includes crossing the Jervois Bridge and down the stairs to Lartelare Reserve, so it is unsuited to people not able to use stairs.

You might like to park your car in the shaded carpark, under the Jervois Bridge (near our finish point), within the Newport Quays development. It's then a 15-minute walk, up the stairs, to the starting point at the Port Adelaide Visitor Information Centre.
