What are the trail features?

The single-track mountain bike trail is a combination of narrow bushland trails and flowing one-metre-wide trails. Whether you’re looking for a technical ride or simply want to release the brakes along the flow trail, you’re bound to find it.

What about beginners?

There is a green trail for the less experienced riders, however this will not be as easy to ride as the previous green trail and caution should be taken. This green trail is suitable for competent bike riders with some off-road experience.  Only ride within your capabilities. Please see risk warnings on the map for further information.

Is the trail popular?

Very popular and accessible trail. Over several years there has been an average of around 300 visitors per week. Peak times will see far more than 300 visitors per week.

Does the trail close during rain and fire danger periods?

Yes. The trail will also remain closed for a period after heavy rain to let it dry out. To find out whether the trail is closed check the trail status at the top of this page or the Hornsby Mountain Bike Trail Twitter page: twitter.com/HornsbyMBT

Will club events be held on the trail?

Local bike groups can apply for a permit to hold club events, with each event to be assessed before approval is granted.
