Best Waterfall Walks near Adelaide
Explore waterfalls in Adelaide that take you to picturesque places just a stone’s throw from the city.
Waterfalls are magical, especially after recent rainfall when they are at their most powerful. Watching the water continue to pour down a mountain of rock is mesmerising and kids of all ages will get a thrill from the experience. During the cooler months in South Australia our local waterfalls are spectacular, so rug up and head out for a family walk or a gentle hike and explore one of our beautiful bushland areas. You don’t have to venture too far with five impressive waterfall walks all within 30 minutes of the city.
