Motorbikes can only ride in Riverhead Forest at a sanctioned Waitemata Motorcycle ride. No riding at any other time.
Built primarily an uphill track to get to the Creek DH and Tunnel DH tracks a little overgrown since the logging but work has been done to start to clear the track, see trail reports.
