Starting from the Gate 18 car park on Range Road South, Houghton, this walk takes you on a circuit around Anstey Hill Recreation Park via the Silver Mine Loop. The Silver Mine Loop showcases the historic silver mines in the northeastern corner of Anstey Hill Recreation Park, following a wide track through grassy eucalypt woodlands. After a short distance, an optional side trail branches off the main track and passes a lookout with a picnic table, where walkers can stop and enjoy the views over the park and Adelaide. Further ahead, the track passes an old silver mine shaft, with protective fencing in place and interpretive signage detailing the local mining history. This circuit consists mostly of flat and well-signposted fire tracks, excluding the side trail to the lookout, and is suitable for walking, running and mountain biking. ​Dogs are allowed, but must be kept on a leash. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
