Starting from the car park near the Park Headquarters on Lake Road East, Yattalunga, this walk takes you on a circuit past the Lake, the Dev­ils Nose Look­out and the Knob Lookout via the South Para Grand Hike. This moderately challenging loop takes walkers past the main high­lights in the central section of Para Wirra Conservation Park, passing many scenic locations and offering the park's premier hiking experience. The walk initially winds along Wild Dog Creek past the Lake, then continues along a ridge through native bushland past the Dev­ils Nose Lookout, which offers panoramic views of the Barossa Range, Gawler Dis­trict, South Para Gorge and Mis­ery Farm. From there, the walk heads to the lookout, located at the top of the small rounded hill of the Knob, which offers stunning views of the surrounding valleys and across to the Devils Nose, then continues past Lizard Rock and Chim­ney Rock before returning to the car park. This loop consists of wide and narrow fire tracks and walking trails, with compacted gravel surfaces, compacted natural surfaces, uneven natural surfaces and short steep hills, suitable for moderate fitness levels. 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.
