Mountain Bike Trails in Craigieburn Trails

Bridge Hill

Coach Stream

The trail mixes open singletrack, beech forest and double track. Is covered in snow in the winter months, so could be a good option for fat bikes. Part of Coach Stream Track is an easement passing through Ben More Station and is closed for lambing from 1 October to 20 November each year. Dogs are not permitted in this section at any time.

Coal Pit Spur

Cockayne Alley

A DH track which starts well above treeline just beyond the locked gate on Cheeseman Rd. Check out the views before traversing through tussock lands, then things get a bit steeper once you enter the forest. Please be aware that the trail surface above treeline is fragile when wet or frosted and you should consider riding something less prone to damage. Please note: DOC have stated no more tracks are to be developed below the Cheeseman Skifield Road.

Cuckoo Creek Track

Enjoyable downhill track accessed off the Cheeseman Skifield Road above Forest Lodge. Please note: DOC have stated no more tracks are to be developed below the Cheeseman Skifield Road.

Dicksons

Dracophyllum Flat

The Dracophyllum Flat Track runs for approx. 6km between the Broken River and Cheeseman skifield roads and links up with the Texas Flat end of the Hogs Back Track. At it’s northern end, the track is accessed from Jacks Pass on the Broken River skifield road. From Jacks Pass the track descends steadily through beech forest down (~140m descent) to Broken River (now crossed by a new footbridge). From the river bed the route then climbs up steeply (~50 m ascent) to reach Dracophylum Flat. After an easy crossing of Dracophyllum Flat the track re-enters the bush again and traverses through several boggy and muddy areas (now bridged) as well as crossing several small streams. Once through the bush, the track route traverses across open scrub and tussock areas before descending down to Tims Stream. After fording the stream the route continues on to finish at Texas Flat.

Edge Track

A bike/hike-a-bike traverse track across scree and through native bush. Amazing scenery but not a track that you'd plan to ride fast. A massive drop off to one side and many corners with rocks that you have to carry your bike over, not a good track for someone with a fear of heights. Watch for slips after rain.

Hogs Back

A flowing single track with a mars-scape scenery up the top of Hogs Back. Check whether it's open on the Craigieburn Trails website here.

Hogs Back - Thomas Bush Downhill

This section of the Hogs Back Track is downhill only from the track junction near the Lightning Tree on Long Spur. Riders heading out north from Castle Hill Village should ride UP the Hogs Back "Easy Out" Track. Check whether the Craigieburn Trails are open on the Craigieburn Trails website.

Hogs Back - Uphill

Intended to separate uphill traffic outbound from Castle Hill Village from downhill inbound, this purpose built track is an enjoyable and family-friendly ride up through the Thomas Bush beech forest, bringing you out higher on Long Spur with stunning views from there across the Castle Hill Basin. Forms part of a great short 40-min loop ride from Castle Hill Village.

Hut Creek

Luge

A very fast rooty track through the native bush.

Sidle 73

The Sidle 73 MTB track connects the Cave Stream campground on the Broken River Ski Field access road with the Craigieburn Ski Field access road, avoiding 1.5km of tarmac on State Highway 73. The track begins at the Cave Stream Picnic area and ends on the Craigieburn Valley Ski Field Road. In part the trail uses an old 4WD track and has been constructed as a walking and biking track of intermediate grade.

Trig 'M'

The track offers great views over Lake Lyndon and east towards Banks Peninsula. The track links in with Coach Stream Track which brings you out down at the bottom of Porters Pass.
