Mountain biking

Boasting over 50km of professionally built and maintained trails, there is something to challenge everyone. UC Stromlo’s unique blend of terrains, natural obstacles, hand-built features, and the ever-changing wildlife, weather and scenery means that no two rides ever feel the same.

Trail Closures

Ongoing maintenance, events, severe weather, or environmental factors means that trails may sometimes be closed. To avoid disappointment, be sure to check the venue and trail closures before visiting.

Park Etiquette and Safety

Staying safe on the mountain is your responsibility, so follow the Park Safety and Trail Etiquette to keep yourself and others safe.

A reminder that all mountain bike trails are one way only – please enter at the trail head signs.

University of Canberra Stromlo Forest Park is a shared use facility. When riding in the Park, you are likely to encounter horse riders, runners, maintenance vehicles, and other park users. Note that horse riders always have right of way over cyclists and walkers.
