In Onkaparinga River National Park, diverse hiking trails take you to
cliff tops with magnificent
views, or down to permanent
rock pools teeming with life. You’ll see rugged ridge tops and the narrow river valley of the spectacular Onkaparinga
Gorge. This park protects some of the finest remaining pockets of remnant vegetation in the Southern
Adelaide region. Wherever you go, you’ll be among native wildlife such as birds, koalas, kangaroos and possums - you may even spot an echidna. Areas of the park were used as farmland for many years, so you can also discover
heritage-listed huts and the
ruins of houses built in the 1880s.
Shared-use trails also offer opportunities for mountain bike riders and horse riders to enjoy the rugged beauty of the park
Just next door, to the west of the national park, Onkaparinga River
Recreation Park boasts wetlands, boardwalks to explore and kayaking opportunities.
