Green Triangle Forest Trails
A range of short loop trails are provided within ForestrySA Native Forest Reserves, located in the heart of South Australia’s Green Triangle forest region.
Visitors can enjoy walking and cycling through Native Forest Reserves, or venture out after dark within nearby commercial pine forest to experience the glow of the Omphalotus nidiformis mushroom, along popular Ghost Mushroom Lane (open May-June annually).
Each trail is clearly marked, allowing users to access the the heart of the forest and navigate safely back again.
Trails meander through a variety of vegetation types and take in different aspects of the landscape, making for an interesting experience.
