About

Mount Lofty Summit is located in the Adelaide Hills, 15km or a 20 minute drive from Adelaide’s CBD.

Rising over 710m above sea level, the summit provides a picturesque panoramic view over Adelaide’s city skyline, as far as Kangaroo Island and Yorke Peninsula on clear days.

The gift shop displays a range of Australian giftware and local goods, and also provides tourist information, local maps, brochures and regional visitor guides.

A popular place to watch the sunset, the summit is also place for walkers to rest after hiking on one of the many trails before descending the hill.

*Please note during extreme weather events the park may be closed for guests safety. Visit our website for further details.

Hiked up there with a friend from the waterfall gully parking lot, (probably worth the effort to avoid the ridiculous parking fee up at the summit 😂). The trail was an easy paved path, with a little bit of incline at some points, overall very achievable for people of all fitness levels. It was a really lovely view from the top, and was a really great active way to make use of a free day in Adelaide. Would definitely do it again and recommend everyone to do it at least once.
