The fun descending Delatite River trail is a Mt Buller fan favourite. For riders new to the trail, it is accessible from the Box Corner Link. The more advance riders can access the trail from the Picnic Table on Cornhill Road; however, the entry point is steep and very rocky. From the Box Corner Link, the trail starts with wide berms, fun features, and fast straights before reaching a few small stream crossings and 14 elevated log bridges. The trail is downhill except for a few short up hills to make you earn your turns. It is also popular with other riders, bushwalkers and horse riders so always be sure to approach blind spots with caution and a controlled speed.
