Lavender Cycling Trail

One Way,Flat to Hilly, Medium, Remote, Sealed/Unsealed,

The Lavender Federation Trail was a hiking trail built to celebrate the centenary of the 1901 Federation of Australia and to honour the memory of Terry Lavender OAM. It was Terry's vision and leadership that resulted in this scenic, historic, interesting hiking trail from Clare to Murray Bridge.

The trail has two options :- walking or riding. They both journey through the same countryside but often diverge to allow the walkers to enjoy hike through the surrounding farms and bushland. The riders keep to the quiet scenic country roads. 
The hiking trail is a linear trail, with optional side loops, that passes through diverse country along the flanks of the Eastern Mount Lofty Ranges.
The riding trail has some spectacular views across the outback plains and passes through quiet farming hamlets.

Part of the beauty of the ride is the isolated nature of the trail. Many hamlets no longer have food, accommodation or public facilities such as water, campsites or toilets. 

We recommend planning the trip prior to commencing your journey.
Before your ride, use icon filters to find accommodation and caravan options and food stops along the way. As you are riding along, know when the next cafe is coming up and enjoy the history and points of interest. 

The FarOut app gives you all the information you need for the ride you plan: navigation, elevations, food, water, distances, car rental locations and more. Enjoy an overview of ride when you check the waypoint photos to get a feel for each location. 

Use the FarOut Custom Route feature to mark your planned journey in day stages. To learn how - Google search " FarOut Custom Route".

Included in your purchase, we also have created the "Lavender Cycling Trail - Day Rides" showing quiet road side loops to allow you to complete the Trail in a series of day ride loops.
