The trail takes in the Balmoral Prisoner of War (POW) Camp and winds through bushland and farmland. Keep an eye out for the remnants of a log loading ramp and the 'shield trees' along the trail. These 'shield trees' have carved numbers and were once used as a grid reference system by foresters in the 1920s.
As you pedal along, you will encounter interpretive signage narrating the history of the area and the significance of the scattered ruins that remain. The cycle trail is guided by green arrow markers.
The trail can be completed in either direction. Riders also have the option of joining the trail from Jarrahdale townsite by following the Munda Biddi Trail.
Note: if you're planning to walk the Balmoral Trail, please refer to the Balmoral Walk Trail as the routes differ.
