Journey
The Lavender Federation Trail is a linear walking trail located between Murray Bridge, southeast of Adelaide, and Clare in the Mid North. The main trail is 325 kilometres, with connecting trails an additional 150 kilometres.
Starting at Murray Bridge, the trail initially travels along the banks of the Murray River before heading inland, following the eastern side of the Mt. Lofty Ranges through the Barossa and Mid North regions to Clare. The trail's serpentine course takes it through gorges, vistas with 360-degree views, several wine regions and many historical areas and towns.
The Lavender Federation Trail intersects with the Murray Coorong, Kidman, Mawson, Heysen and Riesling Trails. Many loop trails (seven) provide easy access for walks ranging from 8 to 23 km, starting and ending at the same spot.
Spur trails (8) connect to the main trail to nearby towns and facilities.
Some of the more spectacular sections are Rocky Gully, glimpses of exotic animals at Monarto Safari Park, 360 degree views from Mount Beevor (Mt. Lofty, Mt. Barker, Coorong, Southern Ocean, Murray River), gorges with permanent water near Dutton, wind turbines near Waterloo and glimpses of St Vincent Gulf from Spring Gully Conservation Park near Clare.
The Lavender Cycling Trail, a bike version of the walking trail, is designed for touring and e-bikes.
