River Torrens (Karrawirra Pari) is Adelaide’s central river, flowing about 85 kilometres from the Adelaide Hills through the city centre and west to the sea at Henley Beach. Lined by parks, wetlands, and walking trails through much of metropolitan Adelaide, the river supports birdlife, recreation, and important green spaces while also holding deep cultural significance for the Kaurna people, who know it as Karrawirra Pari, meaning “red gum forest river.” Along its course, the river varies from narrow, tree-lined sections and wetlands to more expansive stretches, including the well-known waters of Torrens Lake in central Adelaide.

Torrens Linear Parkway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Torrens Linear Parkway is a long, 35-kilometre shared walking and cycling route that follows the River Torrens (Karrawirra Pari) through Adelaide, connecting parklands, wetlands, and riverside reserves from the hills to the coast. This section is an easy walk through Adelaide’s eastern suburbs along the peaceful riverside corridor under river red gums and through pockets of wetland vegetation. Along the way, you’ll pass open parklands and quiet stretches of water before reaching Lochiel Park, an environmentally focused reserve with wetlands, picnic areas, and additional walking loops for plenty of options to extend your walk.
