Waddlebla is an old school walking track from Bayview Height's to Lake Morris Road. In recent times a high popularity of highly confident mountain bikers have tackled the walking track. The first third of the trail is of extreme decent difficulty for only the most confident riders. After Rocky Horror the trail mellows out more to reveal a fast old school rough trail that leads you into the valley below. It is recommended to walk the first part of the trail if you are not a highly experienced rider.

Access Info

At the 8.5km mark on Lake Morris Road there is what looks to be a lookout trail on the left hand side of the road. Follow that track up and you will reach the top of Waddlebla.

This trail is unsanctioned.

Disclaimer

It is recommended to walk the first part of the trail if you are not a highly experienced rider.
