Descend the Cardwell side of Dalrymple Gap walking track. There are no man made features, it's simply an old road now closed to cars and maintained by NP. The trail gets a black diamond for the creek crossings. They're all littered with loose boulders and you come into them with a tonne of speed The rest of the trail is basically wide open, straight, and relatively smooth i.e. no deep ruts. Enjoy the leafy drifty corners!!!

This trail is unsanctioned.

Disclaimer

NPs walking track so MTB probably illegal.
