The Mount Compass Wetlands comprises of a 730 metres long boardwalk over a swamp on the outskirts of Mount Compass. This small but important wetland contains many rare, vulnerable and endangered plants. Over 100 plants have been identified in the swamp. The wetlands can be viewed from a wooden rotunda, which also contains useful information on the unique plants and animals.

The wetlands also feature the sculpture “Waterstone” as part of the Adelaide Hills International Sculpture Symposium, one of the 26 on the sculpture trail.
