The 40 kilometre sealed path linking Gawler to Angaston incorporates the Barossa Trail (Gawler to Tanunda).
Suitable for all fitness levels, this 27 kilometre sealed cycling and walking path is beautifully graded and traverses some of the loveliest countryside in the Barossa.
Trail maps are available from the Barossa Visitor Centre, detailing sections of the Barossa Trail including Angaston to Nuriootpa (6km), Nuriootpa to Tanunda (7km), Tanunda to Lyndoch (14km) and Lyndoch to Gawler (13km). The trails offer varying degrees of difficulty, taking in a broad variety of food and wine precincts, retail destinations, beautiful natural bushland and sweeping scenery.
The Barossa Trail begins adjacent to the railway line at Ann Milroy Lane in Kalbeeba on the eastern outskirts of Gawler. It follows the railway line through Sandy Creek, then crosses the railway using a short section of Cockatoo Lane. The track resumes adjacent to the Barossa Valley Way through gum trees, then over a hill and descends into Lyndoch. From Lyndoch, the track follows the Barossa Valley Way, then next to the railway line to Rowland Flat.
From Rowland Flat, the track is away from the road and railway, through vineyards and bushland near the North Para River and the Jacob’s Creek visitor centre. This section has short steep sections and sharper corners, but rewarding scenery. From St Hallett Road to Tanunda, the track is again adjacent to the Barossa Valley Way.
