The trail starts and ends from the car park on the Northern side of the lake. This easy ride mainly follows fire roads but about 30% of the trail is single-track. There are few hills and no technically difficult sections making it ideal for beginner mountain bikers and families. In addition there's a beginner to intermediate Pump Track for the family to enjoy or to practice your skills on before tackling the trail.
For more of a challenge there are dirt jumps in Chidlow and an engaging intermediate to advance cross country loop at Forysths Mill less than five minutes away.
Lake Leschenaultia is open all year round and is a popular recreational area offering walk trails, bbq facilities, swimming and canoe hire in summer. With this much to do it's worth making a weekend of it and camping overnight.
The gates open at 8.30am (8am on Saturday and Sunday for breakfast at the cafe) and closes at sunset plus 30mins all year round.

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.
