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.
