Flood damage to Montacute Road (picture courtesy of ABC News).
The heavy rains that fell in the Adelaide Hills last week have damaged some popular walking trails and restricted access to several parks.
The lower section of the Waterfall Gully to Mount Lofty trail is closed and may take several months to repair. Alternative access points to the Mount Lofty trail can be found here: Cleland Conservation Park – Waterfall Gully.
While some of the damage has already been repaired, the following parks are also currently affected:
Walkers are advised to check the Park closures listing before setting out to walk in parks in the hills.
Montacute Road at Athelstone and Waterfall Gully Road at Burnside remain closed while repair works continue. Waterfall Gully Road is currently restricted to local traffic only, although it is expected to reopen within a few days.
