Excellent experience and a great challenging & technical mountain trail with awesome.l scenery going up the mountain. The kiddies bike park is a great addition for the younger budding MTB crowdies and makes this a great choice for family camping getaways. Firewood & ice for sale at the entrance & a very friendly & efficient staff contingent in the restaurant which serves great, freshly prepared food to refuel you after a good ride. Thumbs up!👍

Fun mountain biking tracks for a range of skill sets. The entire park was very clean and well managed. Knowledgeable intro at the front desk, clean swimming pool to cool off after, and a great snack shop on a deck to reminisce the day's events. We'll definitely be back in the future.
Blue Beginner's Loop - Great way to get started for beginners. Loved how forested this trail was.
Yellow - We lost one of the markings for this trail and ended up getting back in what seemed to be a shorter than advertised distance. Not as much forest cover.
Pink (Roller Coaster) - Killer climb to start but then a fun ride down. We followed the pink route down which had some steep paved descents. Recommend you take the Orange trail down once you have the option for a more thrilling descent.
Orange (Snakes and Ladders) - Same killer ascent as the pink trail except it keeps on going even higher. Really enjoyed the forested descent after overlapping with the pink downhill for a stretch. I took the black route down at some point, and it was very manageable for a moderate skill level rider if you opt for some of the "Chicken Runs" and avoid the major drops. Steep and some technical sections in the rocks, but my favorite trail of the day.
Adventure Zone - Fun playground area with some jumps and banked turns. The sky is the limit depending on your skill level and risk tolerance.response / report this review -

Only did MTB whilst here but the tracks were fantastic. The Mt.Carmel route is challenging for a 32km route with a series of ups and downs that eventually takes you to a vertical displacement of 450m above the start point at the campsite.
Inexpensive. Trails extremely well marked.
Only downside is lack of water options on route.
Will definitely make another trip here.response / report this review -
