This is a family friendly mountain bike trail centre with three trails:

  • A green 3km route
  • A 7km blue route
  • A 4km red run
  • A jump park

Green Trail

  • The green trail is family friendly as an introduction to the sport and connects onto the blue with a footpath feel. 

Blue Trail

  • The blue trail is a family friendly 7km ride.

Red Trail

  • The red trail has steeper slopes, on narrow single-track which as  a loop also onto connects onto the jump park 

Jump Park

  • The jump park has eight table tops, bermed corners and gap jumps.

History

  • Together the Abriachan trails are known as the Kelpies' Trails - after the famous and mythical local water horse. 
  • The Abriachan Trail centre is owned by the Abriachan Forest Trust community who in 1998 purchased the 534 hectares of forest.  They are a Trust owned by the 140 local inhabitants scattered around the rural community. As a social enterprise they have created a network of paths, MTB trails and educational opportunities.
