Red: 18km
- The Red 18km trail shares the climb through the forest with the Blue trail. Where it splits at the top, the longer red route takes you through more technical singletrack, steep sections, bermed switchbacks, water crossings, tabletops and boardwalk.
Black: 21km combined
- A series of black runs (6km) accessible from the Red route. Together, the red and black runs combine to 21km. The black sections are steeper, with more challenging technical features including large steps, gaps and drop-offs.
Natural Selection - Off-Piste
- Launched in April 2023, these are technical natural-feel (black graded) off-piste options. Expect narrow hand-cut singletrack, exposed off-camber roots, exposed bedrock, tight steep corners, natural slippy surfaces, steep shoots and large drops including a wallride at the end.
Blue: 12km
- The Blue is 12km, with a gradual climb through the forest before splitting with the Red at the top. The descent is largely gradual, with gentle uphill sections and a selection of small humps and features.
Green: 5km
- A waymarked 5km family route avoiding major climbs and technical sections. Mainly hard-packed surfaces, with some loose or muddy sections. The route climbs gently from the car park through the forest to the reservoir, with views of the Clwydian Range, before descending back to the Visitor Centre.
Skills Zone
- The Skills Zone, Pump Track and Freeride Area are currently closed following forestry harvesting near the visitor centre. A rebuild is planned, with the centre aiming to create a next-level Skills Zone including a dedicated area for younger riders, a coaching zone, new berms, drop-offs and jump lines. Check the Oneplanet Adventure website for current status before travelling.
Dual Slalom
- The Dual Slalom has berms, jumps and bumps on near-identical tracks.
