Walk name/location
M.Bridge- Monarto
Walk grade
End-to-End Lavender Trail
Description

This is the first walk of the 325km Lavender Trail from Murray Bridge to Clare. Beginning in Murray Bridge, this relatively flat section of the trail meanders along the Murray River for a short distance past wetlands and then into Rocky Gully Reserve. We get a glimpse of Mobilong Prison and pass Monato Zoo so there are opportunities for recalcitrant walkers to leave the trail at these points!

On the first walk of the Lavender Federation Trail a representative of SARTI (South Australian Recreation Trails Incorporated), the developers of the trail, will give a brief outline of the history of the trail’s design and construction before we set out for the day. We also encourage walkers to join SARTI (it’s only $10) to support their maintenance of the trail ((https://lavenderfederationtrail.org.au/membership/ ).  Maps of the trail are available from the Heysen office.
