Dwellingup Mountain Biking Trails

Set amongst the towering jarrah forests of Western Australia’s Peel region, Dwellingup has earned its reputation as one of the state’s premier mountain biking destinations. More than just a trail network, Dwellingup is a true trail town — a place where riding begins in the heart of town and extends deep into forested hills, river valleys and purpose-built singletrack.

What makes Dwellingup stand out is the diversity of the riding on offer. Riders can spend the day flowing through forest singletrack, tackling classic cross-country terrain, chasing gravity-inspired descents or linking into long-distance backcountry adventures. From smooth beginner-friendly trails close to town to technical riding and longer wilderness loops, the region offers something for every style of mountain biker.

Unlike destinations built around a single mountain or bike park, Dwellingup is made up of several distinct ride areas, each with its own character. The historic cross-country trails around Marrinup showcase the area’s deep mountain biking roots, Turner Hill brings a more modern flavour with flowing descents and gravity-style laps, while Murray Valley delivers bigger terrain and scenic riding through the Murray River valley. Together, they create a destination capable of keeping riders entertained for a weekend — or much longer.

Dwellingup also sits on the route of the iconic Munda Biddi Trail, one of the world’s longest off-road cycling routes, making the town a natural base for riders looking to extend their adventure beyond the local singletrack.

With trailheads close to town, rider-friendly facilities and a growing reputation as an outdoor adventure hub, Dwellingup offers a mountain biking experience that combines purpose-built trails with the freedom of riding through vast forest landscapes. Whether you are chasing fast flow, technical singletrack or long days in the saddle, Dwellingup delivers one of Western Australia’s most complete mountain biking experiences.
