Trail bike visitor areas
Trail bike visitor areas for parking and unloading trail bikes are being constructed at a number of popular riding locations in Gippsland. These facilities are located and designed with local rider input, and are built to meet the specific needs of riders.
Where can I ride?
There are many kilometres of forest roads and tracks to explore in Gippsland. You are welcome to use these roads and tracks provided you are licensed, registered and over the age of 18. You must stay on the formed road and track network as riding 'off road' or on single lane tracks can cause significant damage to vegetation, waterways and native flora and fauna. Penalties do apply.
