Journeys

Walk, ride or trot along the creek or up steep ridges for views across the valley and the rugged ranges beyond. Horses and bicycles are only permitted on shared trails and are not allowed on walking tracks.

When choosing what track to take, consider fitness levels and weather. Be aware that weather conditions can change rapidly. Leave early; once the creek crossings are flooded you could be stranded at the park.

To find out where each track starts and finishes, see the Main Range Conservation Park map (PDF, 295.9KB) . Staying safe and ride with care provide helpful tips for an enjoyable visit.
