Mountain Bike Trails in Te Miro MTB Park

17 Hundy

44/11

Starting from near start of Native track, the 44/11 track travels downhill through pine forest before passing a link to the start of Kaimai Kurla. It then continues to wind down through several flowing corners. There are some steep XXX chute options to the creek that are best ridden when dry. There is also a lower link option to cross over to Kaimai Kurla to mix it up or continue on the 44/11 by turning hard right. The track then joins up with the chute options and crosses the dry creek before exiting the forest. The track then climbs through scrub up a series of switch backs to the start of DH access track. It then carries on down a short fast downhill run with a number of sweeping turns down to the finish on Link Road.

44/11 Steep Line 1

Steep trail off the side of 44/11, then connecting before the bridge.

Big Red

From the main car park, enter the track on the topside of the grass reserve on the Morrinsville side. The Big Red track travels on a wide path through mature Redwoods near the road until you come to a split in the track. The Big Red track veers left at a sign and begins its downhill descent. The top track continues near the road until it intersects with the Dam road. Note: the top track is 2 way so care is required. You can also enter the Big Red from the other direction on the top track. Big Red zig zags across the hillside ducking a diving around huge redwood trees before exiting near the ford below the spillway.

Big Willy

Suitable for beginner riders and families. This track is a two way track starting near the end of the PD track (across the bridge) or on the other side of the spillway from the car park. UPDATE: Trail has changed to one direction only end of 2025, going clockwise around the lake. NOTE: It is a fairly wide track (1.2m) but does contain several blind corners requiring speed to be managed in case of oncoming riders and walkers. The track forms part of a circuit that circumnavigates the reservoir near the water’s edge allowing for many great views. A large part of the track is through mature native bush. Return to car park via the spillway bridge or the PD road or Kaimeleon track.

Bit On The Side

The entry for this track is in between the two fords at the top of the hill in the middle of the Two Timer track. It veers off into native bush and cuts across the side of a hill before dropping onto a plateau near the creek. The track winds around the native forest on a unbenched natural surface trail before heading around the creek bank and re-connecting to Two Timer near the second ford. The track is ‘naturally’ challenging.

Carpark to Big Red Link

DH Access

The old way up to Dustbowl and Dirtbag tracks. It starts as a steep skid road that is slippery during winter then levels out slightly past midway. Mix of pine and scrub. This now ends two thirds up the track where it is now compulsory to use the new DH Access trail, due to the 17 Hundy Project.

Dirtbag

Track splits off from the newish 17 Hundy flow trail after a few hundred meters. It then enters into pine forest and hits a couple of dropping sections with jumps. It exits onto the DH access road. Recommended for advanced riders with All Mountain or DH bikes.

Dustbowl

Downhill track that follows the edge of the reserve down from the Cambridge side of park. Open scrub with numerous jumps. There are a few larger jumps and steep XXX sections which can be very difficult in wet weather. Recommended for advanced riders with All Mountain or DH bikes.

Easy Flows It

This is quite a short but fun, flowing machine built intermediate trail with bermed corners, jumps and table tops where you can pick up a lot of speed. Stays pretty dry in wet weather unlike most of the other trails due to its different dirt composition but can get quite dusty and rutted in summer when very dry.

Easy Up

Climbing track to access a number of tracks such as Native, Gobblers Knob. It is a shorter alternative to Link Road. First section is scrub then comes out to link road for 20m then into pine forest and ends at the start of Gobblers Knob.

Fenceline

Fenceline begins near the start of Snake track where the map and bench seat is. It starts with a fast descent downhill along the fence line for 230m where it levels out and turns hard right to start traveling back towards the car park. There are some steeper sections on the way back. The Track ends in pine forest at the end of the first section of the Snake track.

Giro

Gloworm

Enter track by veering left after first small bridge on Native track. Track winds gradually uphill through native bush and passes a bank with Gloworms noticeable at night. After about 1.2km the track reaches its highest point near a farm fence line where the Mt Ruru mast can be seen. The track then winds its way down a fairly tight technical downhill to merge with the Native track. Due to natural obstacles and amount of climbing this track is recommended for riders who like to test their technical riding ability. Track not recommended during wet weather.

Gobblers Knob

Flowing mostly downhill trail with some nice berms and a couple of small jumps, connects with the jumps track at the bottom. Like the rest of Te Miro's trails can get quite slippery if not ridden in very dry conditions but that tends to happen if you deviate from an area of track not covered by pine needles (seems to be clay based) and it doesn't get as muddy as some of the others given that its quite sheltered.

Gobblers Return

This short track acts as a return link that takes you back to the start of Gobblers Knob. You start from near the exit of Gobblers on the skid road or you can link in before the Gobblers exit. There is a mix of flat and some steep switchbacks to join back onto Link Road below the entry to Gobblers knob. If you enjoy Gobblers Knob and want to do it again this is the way to go.

In And Out

This fairly flat track that begins and ends partway through Snake track. There are a few small rises and roots to negotiate which add challenge. Good to add a bit longer to your ride as you head back towards the car park.

Joiner Link

After finishing Gobblers Knob you can use this track to make your trip back to the bottom bridge more exciting. It runs next to the road with some steep drops and obstacles to finish over a bridge that brings you back to the bottom bridge. It is recommended for more advanced riders due to the drop sections in the track.

Jumps Track

After finishing Gobblers knob you can stay left and begin series of jumps at an old skid area. All jumps are moderate and can vary from small singles to drop-offs and doubles. The trail is semi open (old skid road) with some young redwoods at the bottom section. After the jumps you can carry on uphill then veer off down hill to a lookout with excellent views of the lake. There is also an old track that can lead onto the Miro track before you get to the lookout.
