Forestry SÁ has announced two new multi-use loop trails will soon open in the Second Valley Forest Reserve and has called on the community to help name them.

The two new 7km long trails will begin at Bedlam Flat Road, off Range Road, and are suitable for walkers, horse riders and cyclists. 

They will follow the existing fire track network, traversing a mixture of pine plantation, hardwood plantation and native vegetation.

Trail users should keep an eye out for Yellow Tailed Black Cockatoos and soaring Wedge Tailed Eagles along the way.

The new trails make up the first formalised trail network within the Second Valley Forest, providing new recreational opportunities and increased access to the reserve.

The development has been identified as a priority in District Council of Yankalilla’s Tracks and Trails Strategic Action Plan. 

In support, the council will establish a visitor carpark off Bedlam Flat Road, providing suitable access for horse float parking.

To celebrate, Forestry SA is providing the community with the opportunity to name one of the trails. 

They are looking for a name with a connection to the area and forest. Make trail name suggestions via email.
