Mountain Bike Trails in Croydon Bush/Dolamore Park

Hokonui Water Race Trail

One of the great rides in Southland. Climb through lush native bush and then wend your way around the side of one of Southland’s most iconic landscapes. You’ll encounter part of the old Hokonui water race, before the easy descent into Dolamore Park. This two-way trail offers a fun flowing cross-country ride for everyone. Optional features on the side of the trail reward those looking to switch up their ride.

Jump Line

Fast drops, jumps, gap jumps and berms. Most features cannot be rolled but all features include bypasses or 'B' lines. Occasionally the bypasses branch off into a different trail line for a short distance to bypass the feature. Sometimes these different lines cross each other. Be mindful of other riders when trails merge or cross. Be sure to check out features the first time to avoid surprises. One of the best trails in Southland, we think. Formerly known as Wet Rubber.
