About This Trail
The Coonawarra Rail Trail passes through a 15 km by 2 km strip of terra rossa soil that produces some of the world’s finest cabernet sauvignon. Bring a backpack. This chip-sealed trail begins in Penola and follows the Wolseley to Mt Gambier railway corridor to Glenroy, near Father Woods Park. This is home to seven sculptures depicting the lives of Father Julian Tenison Woods and Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop. Limited bike and e-bike hire is available in the area. There are good accommodation and dining options in the Coonawarra region. Coonawarra Siding to Coonawarra (1.3 km): At Coonawarra Siding, turn right onto Memorial Drive to the small village of Coonawarra. This is an easy ride on a sealed roadside path. There are several food options, including the Coonawarra Store, as well as a number of wineries close by. There is a shady park with toilets and a playground near the end of the path.
