Orb Flow is a flow trail featuring a combination of tight and open bermed corners and rollers. Flow trails can be used to learn the skills required to conserve and generate speed using the trail features rather than relying on pedalling.

The trail traverses the formerly cleared cropping land and passes remnant ruins of the forest's farming heritage.

Orb-weaving spiders make large webs through the grasses and low bushes throughout the reserve, including across the trails in these open areas of the block.
