A 3.5 km loop has been added in the Mount Magnificent Conservation Park approximately 100 metres west of the park entrance off Mount Magnificent Road, providing easier access to the summit. The loop follows the Parks SA ‘Mount Magnificent Loop Trail’ and has red Heysen Trail markers. The original spur 500 metres west of Mount Magnificent Road remains.
South – northbound walkers can use the new spur trail. This part of the loop gradually gets closer to the road before turning west to join the original spur just below the summit.
Walkers then return to the Trail by turning around to descend, this time following the old spur trail north.
If you don’t wish to take the loop there is a shorter 500 metre east to west section which is now marked as an alternative Heysen Trail route with black arrows.
