Accessed via the Kiata Campround access road, the Salt Lake Track is a well-formed gravel track for the first 2.3km. At his point the vehicle track becomes very sandy and only passible by 4WD. It is recommended you park at this junction and walk the extra 2.6km to the lookout. Those with a 4WD and some sand driving experience can continue for another 1.5km to the Trig Point car park. This is a semi-arid desert environment with very little shade, so choose milder weather and carry enough water.

The Salt Lake Track changes from gravel to sand 2.4km from the Kiata Campground Track. Those without a 4WD can park at the junction and walk the 2.6km ONE WAY to Trig Point.
There is a lookout platform at Trig Point that rises you above the low scrub covering the sand dune, giving you expansive views across the Little Desert National Park.
For those who decide to continue driving along the Salt Lake Track, there is a carpark area at the junction where the Trig Point walking track heads off.
