Starting from the car park at the end of Mount Summit Road, Mount Barker Summit, this walk takes you on a circuit around Mount Barker Summit, then leads to the summit and back. This relatively easy hike initially follows a short loop around the summit of Mount Barker, winding around the hill through silver banksia, manna gums and blue gums. Once back at the car park, the hike follows an easy trail to Mount Barker Summit, passing a lookout area with picnic tables before reaching the summit. From an elevation of 517 metres, the summit provides views of the township of Mount Barker, as well as Mount Lofty in the northwest, the Bremer Valley in the east and as far south as the Coorong. This loop consists of narrow dirt trails, suitable for moderate fitness levels, with some uneven surfaces, natural obstacles, steps and gentle hills. 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.
