Gleeson Wetlands

Situated in the Mid North of South Australia, about 140 km North of Adelaide, the Gleeson Wetlands Clare is a popular natural attraction for visitors coming in from Adelaide, who want to explore away from the city.

It's also one of the top things to do in the Clare region. The wetlands are managed by the Clare District Lions Club, who have worked hard to make it a beautiful place for walkers, bird watchers and nature lovers alike. The wetlands span an area of 50 hectares, and visitors can access them via the Riesling Trail, which is perfect for those interested in hiking and cycling.

The Gleeson Wetlands Clare is a nature lover's paradise, with plenty of flora and fauna to admire. The area is home to over 120 species of bird, making it a top destination for bird watching. Some of the species spotted here include Bush Stone-Curlews, Golden-headed Cisticolas, Sedge Wrens, and Little Grassbirds. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll or bike ride around the wetlands, explore the tracks to discover the different scenic areas along the way.

The best time to visit Gleeson Wetlands is between September and April when the bird activity peaks. The winter months are the wetland's low season and there is the possibility of limited bird activity, although the wetlands remain open year-round.

Visiting the Gleeson Wetlands Clare is relatively easy. Driving from Adelaide to the wetlands takes approximately 2 hours via road. Once in Clare, visitors can enjoy the Riesling Trail, which is located nearby, and explore the wetlands before or after the trail with a detour.
