The Mount Gambier Rail Trail is a rail trail in the Australian state of South Australia that follows the course of the disused Mount Gambier railway line in the Limestone Coast of South Australia. It is open to pedestrians and cyclists, and runs for 10.5 km from Mount Gambier and ends in the suburb of Suttontown.[1]

History

[edit]

The trail was completed in early 2017 from Pick Avenue to Whites Avenue. It was extended to west from White Avenue to Jubilee Highway West in late 2017. It was extended further to Pick Avenue to link up with the existing Jubilee Highway path leading to Umpherston Sinkhole and Blue Lake Sports Park. It was also extended north from Jubilee Hwy West to Wandilo RD. An additional 3 km was built west from White Ave to Cafpirco Rd along the disused railway line to Millicent.[2]
