The trail

Craigieburn Forest Park

The track links the lower Craigieburn Valley ski field road with the upper ski field area. Mountain bikers commonly ride up the road and descend on the track.

Before you go

  • DOC recommends using this track outside avalanche season. Large avalanches can cross it when snow is on the upper slopes, most commonly from May to November.
  • Check the Craigieburn Trails status page and current conditions. Its seasonal status table does not establish daily track conditions.
