A great trail for all skill levels, winding it's way around the lake to Hatchery Bay. Passes through cattle grazing paddocks, so keep an eye out for the odd cow, and make sure you close the gates

Intermediate and advanced riders should look for the more technical a-lines that branch off from the main trail.

Access Info

The trail head closest to the township of Jindabyne starts at the boat ramp, however you can ride from town along the Jindabyne Community Trail (concrete path), through the caravan park to the trail head.
