From north to south, the route of the trail may be summarised by the following landmarks in order: [[Parachilna Gorge]] - [[Flinders Ranges National Park]] - [[Hawker, South Australia|Hawker]] - [[Quorn, South Australia|Quorn]] - [[Mount Remarkable National Park]] - [[Melrose, South Australia|Melrose]] - [[Crystal Brook, South Australia|Crystal Brook]] - [[Spalding, South Australia|Spalding]] - [[Burra, South Australia|Burra]] - [[Kapunda, South Australia|Kapunda]] - [[Adelaide Hills]] - [[Deep Creek Conservation Park]] - [[Cape Jervis, South Australia|Cape Jervis]]

Due to [[Bushfires in Australia|bushfire]] risk, large sections of the trail are closed annually from December through to April.

Most people choose to walk sections of the track for one or a few days at a time. There are many places to stay along the trail and hardy walkers who walk the track from beginning to end typically do so in about 60 days.

The ''Friends of the Heysen Trail'' is a non-profit volunteer organisation dedicated to the maintenance, development and promotion of the Heysen Trail and other walking trails; and to the promotion of bushwalking as a healthy leisure activity.<ref>[http://www.heysentrail.asn.au The Friends of the Heysen Trail]</ref>

A regular walking program is conducted by a walking sub-committee. Different grades of walks cater for beginners and for more experienced walkers.
