Downhill Tracks

  • There are multiple blue, red, and black-graded downhill trails. Sandy-based technical descents with drops, berms, and jumps.

Jump Area

  • Progressive jumps for experienced riders, but all features are now unavailable until further notice.

Pump Track

  • There is also a pump track with rollers, berms, and jumps (no specialist cycle pass required) .

Family Trail

  • The Family Cycle Trail starts next to the visitor centre and follows blue-marker posts through woodland. Free to use (no specialist cycle pass required) and aimed at younger riders and beginners. The loop links into the nearby pump track for additional fun

Great location, friendly locals and a whole heap of fun!

Set in a beautiful location with clean amazing facilities. The cafe is great and the toilets are clean and nice! The trails are great for riders of all skill levels and they are continuing to be added to and improved. There is a local riding school there also that has produced so fantastic riders young and old. Always a warm a friendly welcome from the local riders and trail builders. And the car park is reasonably priced too! Love this place!
