Lavender Federation Trail

We came across this trail during a day trip to Murray Bridge. Wide gravel paths for walking. Lots of bird life to see. Nice scenery all round. Apparently this trail is over 300 km long! We only walked 6 kilometres.

The Sturt Reserve is the southern trailhead for a 325-kilometre walking trail wending its way along the eastern slopes of South Australia’s Mount Lofty Ranges.Now fully complete, this has been a long-term project, progressing northwards in sections across nearly 20 years up to 2018. After coursing along the riverbank and its neighbouring wetlands, the trail climbs into the range, traversing rocky gullies and passing the remnants of long-forgotten copper mines and farmsteads.On the trail you’ll walk among native bushland, arable farms, grazing land and picturesque vineyards.For shorter excursions you could take on a single section, or navigate one of several loops off the main trail, at Point Pass, Moculta, Springton, Eden Valley, Toculta, or on Murray Bridge’s doorstep at Rocky Gully.

The Lav Fed trail is maintained solely by volunteers, which is amazing in itself. The walking trails are kept in excellent condition. The Lav Fed trail takes in many of thedifferent types of country that SA has to offer, and is a favourite among walkers, trail runners and MTBers. Hope to see the whole thing one day, all 300km+ of it.

Breath taking.

Beautiful scenery, relaxing walk love it
