River Torrens Linear Park Trail

The River Torrens Linear Park Trail runs along the River Torrens from Henley Beach on the coast all the way to Athelstone in the foothills, threading across Adelaide. A wonderful walking and cycling trail, it's a much-loved recreational route — following the river through parklands, reserves and the heart of the city, offering a scenic, accessible way to walk, run or ride across Adelaide.

The appeal is that combination of a lovely riverside setting and a brilliant active route: the trail links beach, parklands, the city and the foothills, with lovely river and parkland scenery, the chance to spot birdlife, and plenty of access points along the way. It's a genuine asset for walkers, runners, cyclists and anyone wanting to get active outdoors and enjoy the river.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 650 reviews, it's a much-loved trail. The path is free and open year-round, but conditions vary with the weather and different sections have their own character, so it's worth planning your stretch and checking conditions before you go — and taking water and sun protection — while enjoying the river scenery along the River Torrens Linear Park Trail.
