Green (easy) trail from the Sika Trail around and down to Lichen This. Very close to the Wellington Dam Kiosk and lots of fun!
This flowing roller coaster-like cross-country trail starts with a bit of a climb, but rewards you with its sweet berms and rollers, making you yahoo and whoopee all the way down. If you really like it, there are two loopback options using Lichen This.
This trail has a 4 star adaptive trail rating and is highly accessible for Adaptive Trail Riders.

Mountain biking is a potentially dangerous activity with inherent risks. Ride within your skills and abilities. Ride with a buddy. Do not rely on your mobile phone. Coverage in the area is limited.

Trails are free and bring so many benefits to our community by providing opportunities to have fun, get fit, socialise, explore and challenge yourself. But they also have to be managed and maintained which only is made possible through terrific sponsors, donations and/or volunteering.
