Bridgewater to Mt Lofty return hike - 15km, 8:30am

Join us for this scenic hike on Sunday morning. This is a 15km (approx) walk along the Heysen Trail from Bridgewater to Mt Lofty return. The walk features lots of wildlife and lovely natural scenery with views over Piccadilly Valley and its orchards and vineyards.
From Bridgewater we will follow Cox Creek through a tunnel under the railway, along the Arbury Park Outdoor School parklands, and the fairy garden in Deanery Reserve. We will pass through a tunnel under the freeway and through an avenue of trees to Mount George Conservation Park. From here we hike through the Stirling Golf Course, and the Scout's Woodhouse Adventure Centre, cross Piccadilly Road and along Sprigg Road to a steep climb and Mt Lofty, where we will have a break and enjoy the views, before returning to Bridgewater.
You’ll need a good level of fitness and bring water and snacks. Poles are recommended.

Meet at the Bridgewater Inn (large) car park.
The hike will take about four and a half hours, with a break at Mt Lofty, and afterwards we’ll have an optional coffee or lunch at the Bridgewater Inn.

This is a grade 4 (hard) hike on the Walking SA website with a steep zig zag ascent to Mt Lofty. We will be walking at a moderate pace of 4km/hr. It’s not recommended for those with bad knees.
