Important Trail Update
Forestry harvesting operations are currently underway in the forest. We’re working closely with the forestry team to manage risks and keep trail disruption to a minimum.
The Skills Area, Pumptrack and Freeride area are currently closed due to harvesting work.
Running Trails – Currently CLOSED due to harvesting operations
Before you ride
Please check the Trail Notice Board at the Visitor Centre for the latest updates.
Thanks for your cooperation and support—riding responsibly helps us keep the trails open for everyone!
——————————–
Please follow the diversion signs to avoid current forest harvesting. Please follow any additional instructions given by machine operators in the area. Do not attempt to ride any of these sections of the trail for your safety and the safety of the operators in the area. Please stick to the way-marked trails and don’t ride on the forest roads unless directed by diversion signs. This is because of the harvesting vehicles.
Please also stay only on the waymarked routes throughout the forest during this period as a lot of heavy timber haulage will be taking place on ALL forest roads. Many thanks for your help and happy riding.

Trail Update – 25th January
Good news! We’ve surveyed the trails after Storm Eowyn, and luckily, we didn’t take too much damage. We’ve found a few fallen trees and are already hard at work clearing them.
All Walking trails will be open in the morning, the running trails will remain closed following damage from the previous storm, but you are welcome to run on the walking trails.
We’ll be back at first light and aim to have most trails cleared by 10am tomorrow. The car park and visitor center will open as usual, but please note: the trail network won’t open until 10am.
Some sections, including B-Line and part of the Green trail, will stay closed until after lunch due to more work needed.
The Blue trail remains closed due to previous storm damage.
For your safety, please do not ride until we officially reopen the trails tomorrow. Thanks for your patience and understanding while we work to get everything back to normal!
