Shearwater Mountain Bike Trails
Highlight • Forest
A lay-by is good for parking and is also an ideal access point for many of the trails.
To the south is where most of the steeper and more technical trails are located. To the north and east there are endless single track trails that weave throughout the woods.
You can cycle here for hours and still have not found all of the trails.
Cycling along the fire roads is a quick way to get around and you will see many trails off the sides in different directions.
Beware that in the summer it can get busy with walkers and families as some of the trails come out directly, or cross over, the fire roads. Usually everyone is bike friendly and stays off the trails.
At the very bottom to the south is Shearwater lake which is a great place to stop for a drink and snack and to enjoy the view before heading back up to the trails.

Helmet mandatory, full face is most common for the bigger stuff. Knees and elbows will thank you for protecting them in event of fall (speaking from experience) the ground is sharp in places with rocks and roots.
Busy times are weekends and school holidays, although rarely queued even when there's 100 or so people there.
Car park gets full quickly so early bird catches the worm and all that!
