Located 15km north of Bairnsdale at the Mt Taylor Picnic Area, this is a thrill-seekers' playground with over 30km of mountain bike trails to enjoy.
You'll find a variety of downhill, all mountain and cross-country tracks which feature a flowy descent down back to the picnic area. These are best suited to riders with experience.
For those looking to test their skills, the double black diamond downhill track is a fast-paced technical trail through the forest with 300m of vertical descent, fast corners, big jumps and loose rocks.
