Sleeper provides a short introductory loop experience for novice riders and families. The trail starts at the main trailhead and ends at the junction with Twisted Sister. The trail is predominantly on a very low gradient, making it an easy trail for riders with limited mountain biking experience and skill. As this is a one way trail, you will need to continue on to the top portion of Twisted Sisters.

The trail traverses through stands of native cypress and is home to a population of sleepy lizards (also known as shingleback or stumpy-tailed lizards).

Between 1896 and 1889, an estimated 10,000 Sugar gums were harvested from the Willowie Forest area for railway sleepers to service the region's expanding network. If you look closely, you'll spot some of the old saw pits scattered through the forest.
