Gate 11 Onkaparinga National Park reviews
23Nice place for a walk with a few sections giving nice views over the gully. Some of the trails get pretty rocky so be sure to wear appropriate footwear!
Love it up there. This time did the river walk. Got all the way to the bottom to find the river was above the banks and over the path. Could not continue. Had to turn around. Will try again after a few weeks of dry weather.
Went on the Sundews Lookout hike. Nice easy walk with a good view from the lookout. Toilets and seating here.
If would like great walking trails this the place close to Adelaide has good views and lots of vegetation.
Just started hiking here. It's a great setting with a number of trails with varying degrees of difficulty. Make sure you follow the correct markers!
Off street car park, washroom and some tables upstream.
I think this is a great starting point to explore the stunning upper Onkaparinga Gorge.
A beautiful part of the Fleurieu to explore in the Onkaparinga Gorge national Park. Plenty of walks to take starting at gate 11 with varying degrees of difficulty. Bonus points for a public toilet. Beautiful bushland and wildlife
A great place for a hike or even a short walk. Well defined trails and lots of trail markers. Gates to the park have car parking, sometimes a toilet and often maps and other helpful information for visitors. Some locations have picnic tables but remember there are no rubbish bins so please take all your rubbish with you when you leave.
Beautiful landscape, the punchbowl loop is graded as a level 3 and is a very forgiving trail with a brilliant reward midway through.
Plenty of walking trails, not difficult, lots of solitude if you want.
No pets though, and that's okay.
It's a really large park but it's hard to get lost. Just walk uphill and you will find the road
Beautiful park, with good, mature trails. Great view of the river, gorge and a little waterfall in the distance. The lookout point was great too. Saw some kangaroos in the wild. Plenty of birds, but best to be equipped with binoculars.
If you are going in rain season, maybe don’t choose the bottom trial. Cause it is 100% get wet trial, river level pretty high, covers the rocks that help you to cross the river, need go into the river so can get back to the trial. Definitely not very safe for kids.
BUT, if like adventure, that’s the most interesting trial in Adelaide! Worth to go!
Good variety of short loop walks which are true to name- eg. Sundew tracks you will expect many examples of this native on the loop. Stunning view at the lookout- selfie worthy
Great place to begin a trek through the park! Several different walks, signposted well! Stunning scenery & breathtaking lookouts.
Fantastic place to explore this park from. We (4 adults + baby in carrier) did the Gorge trail (orange on the map). 6 km took about 3 1/2 hours. The path down into the gorge was beautiful. Once you reach the stream it was a lot more challenging as there is sections that do not really have a path. You make your own way down the river picking a couple of places to cross the stream. The track/stream dead ends into the fire track after about a mile along the stream so you can’t miss the turn. Really fun walk, beautiful and just allow yourself some extra time to navigate the stream section.
Because the loop trail finished so you couldnt finish it and the george hike stopped dead due to no sign posting and not maintained once you got to bottom near river as river hike is over grown and no sign posts so easy to get lost well done onkaparinga council other people we met were in same predicament.
I had heard about this place from my kids. Never have I been here before, and I am wondering why. We only dit a relatively short hike, 1hour down to the gorge, 10 or 15 for a drink and a snack and a few pictures and another hour back to tge car park.
A selection of great hiking trails for people of different fitness, my favourite is the Nature Hike because I'm not in any way fit!
The walk to punchbowl lookout is an easy stroll through pristine bushland. We were greeted by a mob of kangaroos, laughed with kookaburras. An amazing walk with the Skyline walkers.
Great walk, stunning scenery let down by overgrown paths and lack of signage at the bottom of the gorge where it is needed most.
