Green Flag Trails

All Hikes in 'Green Flag Trails'

Green Flag Trails is a voluntary quality-assessment and accreditation system for hiking trails. It considers trail management, design and features, information and safety, environmental responsibility, and heritage and community impact, helping hikers understand what has been assessed about a trail experience.

A useful quality signal, not a live conditions report

Accreditation can help a visitor choose a trail with clearer information and responsible management, but it does not remove the need for personal judgement. Weather, fire, flooding, maintenance, access and bookings can change after a trail has been assessed.

Plan with current information

Use the relevant SA Hikes guide as a starting point, then confirm current details with the operator or through Green Flag Trails before travelling. Carry the equipment suited to the route and follow all local instructions on the day.
