Punchbowl Lookout Trail, Onkaparinga River National Park

Last updated October 2026

A short, easy Grade 2 trail in Onkaparinga River National Park, about 35 km south of Adelaide, rated by National Parks and Wildlife SA as suitable for people of all abilities, prams and limited mobility. It is 2 km return (about 1 hour) through grey box woodland to the Punchbowl Lookout over the Onkaparinga gorge, where there are picnic benches; the wide hard-packed trail descends to the lookout and climbs 50 m over 1 km on the way back. Kangaroos graze nearby at dawn and dusk. The main walking trails are reached from Piggott Range Road, and there is an accessible toilet at the Sundews car park. Vehicle entry is free and the park is open daily.
