Berms are falling apart. Trail hasn’t been maintained by Hobart City Council.

By far the most flown trail in the area. So much fun especially downhill but fun uphill too.

Some muddy sections at lower end - given the sharp turns in this track these muddy sections require a higher level of concentration than usual.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
