Punchbowl Lookout and Trails

It's a wonderful, natural escape in the hills, popular with walkers and those after a scenic vantage point.

With a 4.8 rating from more than 180 reviews, it's a much-loved spot. The lookout and trails are free and open, but conditions vary with the weather and the trails involve natural terrain, so it's worth checking before you go — and taking water, sun protection and decent footwear — while enjoying the gorge views and the trails at Punchbowl Lookout near Onkaparinga Hills.
