The Amy Gillett Bikeway or Amy Gillett Rail Trail or Amy Gillett Pathway is a shared path in the Adelaide Hills on part of the alignment of the former Mount Pleasant railway line. It is a sealed path suitable for recreational cycling, walking and horse riding. The trail is named after Australian track cyclist and rower Amy Gillett.
Stage 1 was opened in January 2010 by Patrick Conlon, then the South Australian Minister for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure. Stage 1 extended between Oakbank and Woodside,[1] with kerbside bike lanes on Onkaparinga Valley Road continuing south from the trailhead through Oakbank. Stage 2 extended it through Charleston[2] and Stage 3 opened in May 2014 added to Mount Torrens.[3] Future work could extend it another through Birdwood to Mount Pleasant.
Funding for Stage 4 was secured in 2024, with the Adelaide Hills Council agreeing to contribute $500,000. This stage is expected to be completed by mid-2025. The final stage, to linking the bikeway to the existing Barossa Trail, was still under negotiation in April 2024.[4]
There are also several side loop trails available to interesting destinations off the main path.[5]
