Inman Valley to Myponga

Walking from Inman Valley to Myponga on the Heysen Trail.

What to expect

A very undulating walk starting with a climb up Sugarloaf Hill and on to Moon Hill, each offering spectactular rural views. With more ups & downs through the native bushland in the Myponga Conservation Park.

The back half of the day sees us walking through pretty farmland and along quiet country roads.

After leaving the trail at Yulte Road we have a 2 klms walk to the cars.

After the finish of the walk there will an end of season celebration with a Christmas Theme which we hope you all will stay for. A time to enjoy the company of your fellow walkers & reflect upon our first season on the Heysen Trail.

So bring something to share and maybe wear something to engender the forthcoming Christmas spirit and finish the season off in a joyous mood.

These walks are for those wishing to walk some or all of the Heysen Trail. There are approximately sixty day walks involved, spread over six years. The southern walks, from Cape Jervis to Kapunda, are held on one Sunday per month during the walk season. Due to the greater travelling distances involved, from Kapunda northwards, the walk is held over a weekend.

These arrangements make it easy to walk the entire trail because the Friends of Heysen Trail work out many of the logistics.

These walks are reasonably demanding and for walkers who have walked regularly in various terrain. They have a walking time of about 5 to 6 hours and will require a high degree of physical fitness.

Refer to the End-to-End Walks page for more detailed information.
