The Port Adelaide Anchor Trail is a maritime heritage project lead by the Marine Life Society of South Australia and made possible thanks to a Place-making grant from the City of Port Adelaide Enfield. The project was initiated by Steve Reynolds and realized with Dan Monceaux, with extra support from Force of Nature.

The printed trail guide is available at a variety of venues along the trail (listed below) and contains suggested walking, driving and cycling trails to connect visitors and Port Adelaide locals with their deep and rich maritime heritage. The guide (also available online – see below) contains details of the 15 sites where 19 historic anchors can be found and viewed in a wide variety of settings.
