Hiking was novice until about the last mile down, in which it became VERY steep. Fit people will have no problem getting to the bottom, others will be somewhat challenged, and will require a couple of short brakes. Bring extra water in the heat as its a couple hours worth in just the hike. Wild Kangaroos inhabit the area, observe caution. WATCH your step!!! A couple of spots its one wrong move, and down you go!! I wouldn't recommend going with children under 10. Be VERY careful to remember the trail up from the river bottom, it can be easy to miss.

  • Liisa Grace Baun

Wow! Not only are the views stunning but the steep walk down to the bottom of the punch bowl is definitely worth it if you are at a reasonable fitness level to climb back up again. We hiked 8km here and still didn’t cover all of it. We encountered many kangaroos near the end as we approached our car which was such a treat to get quite close to them.

  • Bipin Joshi

It’s a small wall from car park towards the look out area and the walking trail is easy enough for everyone. Once you reach here you will see the water hole and natural landscape that you will fall in love with. Breathtaking view and scenery. A must visit in southern Adelaide

  • Dale Grimmond (aldingamedia)

Beautiful place to visit. The view from the lookout is stunning, especially at sunset. The hike down to the actual punchbowl water hole is a little tough but worth it. Great place for a secluded swim. Feels like something you'd find in Northern Territory.

  • CJ Jarmaine

Nice walk down along the mountain plenty of wild life and plants the track has an increasing number of people going to it. I enjoy the walk and the view from the lookout is nice i recommend this track for people in the area.

  • wayne bartsch

Really worth a look. Nice walk from carpark to lookout along a family friendly trail. You will be amazed it so close to the southern suburbs. A deep valley with waterfalls, bring the binoculars and camera.

  • Scott Organ

My first time there road the push bike to the car park then walked to the lookout took some photos with my phone and some with my Nikon P900 I will have to go again to see the rest another day

  • Bella Hall

So beautiful throughout this area, well set out trails and signage. Toliet and drinking fountains situated at the car park at Gate 11. I'll be back time and time again exploring and wandering.

  • Karl Fulton

My wife and I find it a beautiful place to go for walks. With a large number of the trails in which the onkaparinga council have designed still new to us. Must try a few of them this weekend.

  • Aaron Poeze

A very well sign posted easy walk on a wide well packed gravel path. The lookout itself is well built and offers excellent views. Kangaroos are frequently present. Bikes also use the track.

  • Sujan Bhusal

25mins drive from adelaide centre and you’ll be amazed by the beauty of this place. It partly reminds the structure of Blue Lake in Gambier. Good for hiking. Must visit place.

  • Cameron Olliffe

Great trails for bikes or walking, can get all the way to the lookout with a bike. Beautiful view, stop and listen to the river flowing below

Peaceful fresh spot to take in the natural surroundings and amazing views! Quite cold on winter sunrise mornings but still very beautiful.
