Adelaide Walkers & Joggers

Meet next to the lake opposite the Boatdeck Cafe for one of 3 different walks around lakes and wetlands of Mawson Lakes. Each walk is an approx 5km circuit and takes about 1 hour. It's an easy route, reasonably flat and please be considerate to others by arriving a few minutes early as we'd like to leave on time!

As this is a circular route, we can cater for any fitness level or speed. We always catch up afterwards to relax, chat and have a coffee or meal at the Boatdeck Cafe.

If, when we ARRIVE, the WEATHER is not the best (TOO HOT OR TOO WET), it may be decided to skip the walk and go straight to the Boatdeck Cafe! (So far this has only happened ONCE, so if you turn up there's bound to be someone else there too!)

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 toward 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 coffee break at Mt Lofty, and afterwards we’ll have an optional 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.
