We love the bike tracks in McLeans Forest, it's great to have tracks that are good for the kids but also for those seeking a little bit of adventure. The cafe is fantastic, they hire out bikes for a really reasonable price and the food and drink is really affordable too. The new bike park out the back is amazing, we enjoyed the see saws last week and the new trails that surround the pump track. It would be great to have some more picnic tables/electric barbecue and shaded areas for summer.

If you haven't tried mountain biking, this is a good starting point. You don't need a fancy dual suspansion mountain bike for this trail. Even if you don;t have a bike, cause there is a bike rental shop in the park. Still you get a taste of the up and downs, corners and forests. It also suits kidsto have some fun. Or if you are a hard core biker, this is a good course for a couple of quick laps excerise.

On a sunday I went there before noon. Rented a bike (23 bucks for bike 5 for a helmet) and had a blast. Just simple as that - you find yourself riding through beautiful forest which also offers a variety of different views. The entire circuit would take you between 2-3 hours but there are couple of shortcuts if you wanna make it shorter. Ideal for solo riders as well as families. No hard challenges.

Nice track for the family. Spoke to a fellow bike rider and he told me his three year old does the five kilometres track. I think it would be challenging for a three year old but certainly a ten year old would quite comfortable complete the five kilometres loop. Track is well maintained and we'll signposted, it was my first time there and I found it quite easy to navigate. With regards to fitness you can do both loops which are about eighteen kilometres in total I think and obviously as slow or fast as you would like. I can see this becoming a regular visit for me. It was not necessary for me to use the bathroom but I'm sure there are...

Love the McLeans Island Forest Park wing a keen mt biking. The mountain bike track is mainly flat single track which is an easy/beginner level ideal for taking the kids out for a ride. It has two loops in a figure of eight. Just doing the first loop is 10 km or do both takes it to 15 km. You can also take a short link track that you back round the first track again avoiding going right back to the start. You can also hire bike there from On Ya Bike who also run a small shop that sells barista coffee, sold drinks...

Honestly loved coming out here. We came for the kids bike track and our kids loved the different options available within eyesight of the seats. One of the kids tracks as a road set up which is great to teach road safety and checking before going. Would loved if there was also sheltered seat options for families to be close to their kids and out of the sun. Will definitely be coming back soon. It's so popular with kids and parents everywhere. Also tracks for adults nearby. Bike wash and pump...
