Warren Gorge Circuit Walk (5.2km)

Nestled in the Adelaide Hills, Warren Conservation Park offers a haven for nature lovers seeking a challenging bushwalking experience. The park boasts a rich tapestry of flora and fauna, with relatively undisturbed Messmate stringybark and long-leaved box woodlands teeming with native plants, including vibrant orchids and lilies. The park is a haven for wildlife, with kangaroos, echidnas, and lizards commonly spotted amongst the trees.

While Warren Conservation Park is only a short distance from Adelaide, the closest town being Williamstown approximately 10 kilometres southeast, the walking trails here are best suited for experienced bushwalkers. The park features three challenging trails, including a section of the renowned long-distance Heysen Trail. These tracks are steep and require a good level of fitness and experience.

Spring paints the park in its most vibrant colours, with orchids, wattles, banksias, hakeas, heaths, and eucalyptus bursting into bloom. However, the park's beauty can be appreciated year-round. The native fauna and the wild forests of stringybark and long-leaved box offer a glimpse into the natural wonders of the Adelaide Hills, making it a worthwhile destination for those seeking a challenging adventure.
