The Mount Barker Rail Trail is a 5 kilometres cycling and walking path in the Adelaide Hills in the South Australian city of Mount Barker. It is open to pedestrians and cyclists, and runs for 5 km. Even though being a rail trail, it is not on the railway formation and has undulations than a true rail trail would have.
