Milang Foreshore Reserve
A peaceful location next to Lake Alexandrina, Foreshore Reserve is the perfect place for family picnics and large gatherings. You'll find a shaded playground and two barbecues located at the reserve, and with a boat ramp nearby it is ideal for day trips by the lake.
The reserve also features the sculpture “Run like the Wind” as part of the Adelaide Hills International Sculpture Symposium, one of the 26 on the sculpture trail.

Milang Jetty
Milang nestles on the banks of Lake Alexandrina and has an important place in the history of the River Murray. The jetty was integral to this history.
Nowadays, the jetty is mainly used for fishing. It still has the 1859 erected hand crane which was used to load the boats which plied Lake Alexandrina's waters then to make their way up the Murray River with goods and supplies.
The area adjacent to the jetty has been developed as a community and visitor resource. The lawned area has a barbeque area, seating and toilets with a large car park next to the park. This park also serves the boat ramps.

The Nurragi Conservation Conservation Reserve Walking Trail
The Nurragi Conservation Reserve Walking Trail follows the former railway line from Milang to Sandergrove.
The railway was opened in 1884 as a branch line and closed in 1970. The former railway was declared a conservation reserve in 1991. Nurragi Conservation Reserve forms a wildlife corridor linking the eastern Mount Lofty Ranges with Lake Alexandrina and contains extremely important vegetation in a region that has been cleared of over 98% of its original cover. More than 300 native plant species are present, with over 50 of those being of particular conservation significance (eg rare or endangered). The Reserve is an important bird corridor, linking the lakeside environment to the foothills.
The walking trail begins from the Port Milang Historic Railway Museum near the wetlands, although it is easier to follow from McDonald St.
It’s quite pleasant to start from the Milang Regatta Club and walk along the Wetlands Walking Trail past the Port Milang Historic Railway Museum and on to Stirling Street, to connect with the Nurragi Conservation Reserve that begins on McDonald St.
The trail is 14km one-way, but you could walk to the former Nurragi Railway Station and return (8 km one-way). Find more information at Nurragi Conservation Reserve Walking Trail | Walking SA
