Atherton Forest Mountain Bike Park

Cairns City, Queensland

The Atherton Tablelands is the ultimate one-stop destination for mountain biking with rainforest tracks, mountains and rolling fire roads to suit every rider level. The Atherton Forest Mountain Bike Park has easy trails suited to beginners as well as the new six kilometre blue level trail, Ridgey Didge. For the experienced, Baldy Loop is a 20-40 kilometre ride on dirt roads to the top of the Great Dividing Range with stunning views across the Tablelands. The Inner Wallum Loop consists of some spectacular climbs and descents that form part of the 2013 National Cross Country Marathon course. If you prefer a flatter ride on bitumen, try The Ariga Loop, an epic ride to the northern edge of the Atherton Tablelands and the fringe of the drier Savannah country. The Crater Loop is another bitumen ride of 60 kilometres to the volcanic crater of Mount Hypipamee National Park, while the 40-60 kilometre East Barron/Kairi Loop boasts views across the Atherton Tableland to Queensland's highest mountain, Mount Bartle Frere. Nearby at Tinaroo, serious riders can tackle the 40-60 kilometre Kauri Creek/Mount Edith Loop taking in the shores of Lake Tinaroo and an epic 1212 metre climb to the top of Mount Edith.
