Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What a beautiful way to explore the bushland and waterfalls so close to Adelaide city.
Walk to first waterfall is an easy walk.
Views are spectacular when you walk up to look over the first waterfalls. Not the easiest trek n track has lots of rocks so unstable under foot.
Overall love coming to explore the area and see many birds especially the Kookaburra. We also saw a rabbit.

If you ever travel to Adelaide, take your time to visit this amazing park. It is full of geological outcrops and animal species. Put on your walking shoes and hike through a number of fantastic hike trails.

Worth the visit , we walked up to first falls and to see the cave . Coffee van available to get a drink and have a snack - varieties of cupcakes , muffins and ice cream. Keep an eye out for koalas up in the trees and the blue wren .

This Park is a well maintained Conservation Natural Reserve. You will always find people here everyday; people of all ages, either groups of school children, families going for a nature walk and avid health individuals going for a run or walk and many more. There are three waterfalls and you can walk to the first one with your family and its not that far. Also a great place for Rock Climbing, Bird watching and occasionally seeing few Koalas during the visit. Its the nearest of its kind to the C.B.D; approximately 15 to 20 minutes drive.

Probably the best walking parks in Adelaide, a lovely place for a picnic cum BBQ. Excellent natural scenery. Splendid view even though the water flow was not very rapid. Walked up the trail to the Giants cave and easily managed to also reach the First Falls. Was surprised to spot quite a few koalas between the tree branches - what a sight! - It made our day. Absolutely majestic grandeur.

This is well worth coming to for a look. Plenty of trails to choose from or just grab a coffee and look at the waterfall (may not be flowing in the middle of summer)
The only issue is the lack of parking these days as its so popular.

I really enjoyed the hiking here and it wasnt as busy as Mt lofty. There were still a few people around but most if the time I was on the track myself. There was lots if parking and lots of different walking tracks. I plan to go back and do a different track next time.

this is the best time of the year to go. there are loads of trails and everything is green and the only time you'll see the falls running. the walk from the car park into the park is lovely and this is where you'll spot a lot of koalas. be warned of koala bombs

There's flat walks here for those with kids and some slight inclines up either side of the main drag for those looking for a quieter experience.
If you can allow 2-3 hours and take the round trip to 2nd/3rd falls.
If you co-ordinate with other walkers or use multiple calls there's tracks at the rear of 3rd falls that will see you all the way up to Norton Summit past old historic barns and quiet/wider tracks.

A 20 minute bus ride from town, this is a short walk (1-2 hours) up a pretty valley. Not much water falling in February, but koalas everywhere in trees.

Is it dangerous to walk alone for a young girl there? Or there are people always and its fine?
What trail is the most beautiful if I will have about 3 hours for a round trip?
Written 27 September 2017
When I was there in December it was very busy with lots of people. The local people walk from their homes and walk here. There are several walks, some flat and short ( to the waterfall) and others can be quite steep.
Written 1 October 2017
You can walk your dog but from the lower carpark area up to the first main area that branches off to the falls and other walks, so maybe a 2-3km round trip, but no further as considered a "national park" so I hope that helps

How long is the walk to see Morialta falls from the car park?
Written 18 February 2017
If you drive all the way in, that car park is quite near the waterfall, a stroll will get you there in about 20mins. There are a few different trails there, it is worth trying those if you have the time too.
Written 10 March 2017
How long (metres OR km) is the hike? How steep is it? Do we need rock climbing gear for this hike?
Written 19 October 2016
there are a number of hikes ranging from about 2km to 10km or more and from fairly flat terrain to more challenging but you won't need climbing gear. there are some abseiling points though if you have the right gear. plenty of options and even the easy walk takes you to the bottom of the first falls

After walking to the water falls are you aloud to cool off in the plunge poll at the bottom off the water falls?
