The Adelaide100®

The Adelaide100® is a loop walking trail of over 100km that takes in the coast, waterways and hills of the capital city of South Australia.

The Adelaide100® trail is a project of Walking SA. We’ve been working since 2015 to bring the vision for the Adelaide100® trail to life, progressively implementing and opening trail sections.
