Mount Bold Reservoir Reserve

Enjoy, explore, preserve Mount Bold Reservoir Reserve

Mount Bold, the largest reservoir in South Australia, is about 45 minutes drive south of Adelaide. The reservoir is surrounded by more than 5,500 ha of land, including three Trees for Life sites, and much native vegetation that has conservation significance. The reserve is predominantly stringybark woodland, but also has Manna Gum woodland, swamps and creeks. More than 160 native animals call Mount Bold home including the Southern Brown Bandicoot.

Free car parking and toilet facilities are also available.

The lookout at Razorback Rd is accessible 7.30am - 5pm (standard time), 7.30am - 8pm (daylight saving time). The dam wall can be accessed via Mount Bold Rd, and is open between 9am – 4pm. Both sites are closed on Total Fire Ban Days and for operational activity (gates will be closed).
