Location

Lobethal Bushland Park is located just north of the township of Lobethal, which is a 30 minute drive from east of Adelaide. The park comprises 118 hectares of varied terrain of gentle slopes dissected by several north-south running drainage/creek lines. The altitude ranges from 450m to 520m above sea level which is mostly covered in bushfire effected remnant vegetation such as Stringy Bark, Blue Gum and Prickly Tea-tree Woodland, Open Forests and shrubland.

The Park is geographically split into two parts consisting of a conservation area, containing over 80 hectares of Heritage protected vegetation, consuming the northern majority of the site and a smaller southern section including Reservoir South, car park, building and previous play space is identified as the Recreation area. Both areas can be accessed by the main southern entrance and car park located off Kenton Valley Road. The Conservation area is also directly accessible via a smaller entrance located at the junction of Kenton Valley Road and Reservoir Road (to the east of the site). Both areas within the Reserve can be experienced by a network of walking trails taking visitors around both reservoirs and to vantages points of interest.
