      Sticky Forest is a locally-built and maintained set of trails, open to all. It is found on the east side of Wanaka, towards the Clutha River Outlet. The main car park is on a small cul-de-sac called Platinum Ridge off Forest Heights road.

      The tracks ranges from novice to advanced, with the majority somewhere in the middle. Many of the tracks have man-made features (mostly jumps), but almost all the features have chicken lines around them. It is also possible to access the Clutha River Outlet Track from here.
