4kms of Stromlo Forest Park’s newest mountain bike trails are now open.

The new trails will add to the already expansive 44km, offering cyclists additional world class novice and experienced riding trails to explore. The trails includes a 2km mountain trail offering sweeping views across Canberra and also a coaching trail designed for novice riders and groups to book.

Canberra is home to a strong and growing mountain biking culture and is one of Australia’s top cycling destinations. The trails will cement the ACT’s position as a bike friendly city and world-class mountain biking destination.

The ACT Government is committed to supporting Canberrans to lead active and healthy lifestyles by providing the community with world-class infrastructure. Currently, the 1,200-hectare Stromlo Forest Park attracts over 1,000 weekend mountain bike riders daily and at the end of December 2019, visiting bike riders to Canberra spent an estimated $30 million in the local economy.

With COVID-19 restrictions and physical distancing in place due to the pandemic, the number of bike sales in the ACT has increased, boosting the sport’s popularity and highlighting trail riding as one of the world’s fastest growing sports, ensuring that the new trails would be welcomed by the community.

The new trails will attract people to the ACT, supporting tourism and contributing to the local economy by creating additional employment opportunities and bolstering local businesses.
