Good to know
- Open to cyclists
Carry plenty of water and ride in cooler months (May–September) to avoid heat stress. Summer heat and potential bushfire risk make this trail unsuitable in hot weather. A mountain bike or all-terrain bike is essential. Wear protective gear and check conditions before setting out, as dirt trails can degrade quickly.
