Second Valley Forest is located on Kaurna and Ngarrindjeri Country, on the Fleurieu Peninsula.

Consisting of about 2,000ha of pine plantations and more than 250 ha of Native Forest Reserves and conservation zones containing ecologically important Fleurieu swamps, it provides sustainable softwood production and protects critical habitat for native flora and fauna.

The forest is also home to the spectacular Ingalalla Falls. More than 70,000 people visit each year to picnic, enjoy our walking trails and explore the natural creeks, rockpools and breathtaking waterfalls.
