Smithfield and Davies Creek Mountain Biking Trails

Cairns City, Queensland

Discover two contrasting mountain biking trails within an easy drive of each other, one in the rainforest on the coast, and the second on the Atherton Tableland. Smithfield Trails has something for everyone with the rainforest trails ranging from the easy, designated by a green circle, to the double black diamond icon for experienced riders. The downhill and cross-country trails wind through scrub, rainforest and pine forest in the foothills of the World Heritage-listed Wet Tropics rainforest. This great site at Smithfield Conservation Park will host the 2017 UCI World Mountain Bike and Trials Championships and the UCI Mountain Bike World Cups in 2014 and 2016. It is accessed at McGregor Road, Smithfield between James Cook University and the AJ Hackett bungy jumping site. For some different terrain, head up the Kennedy Highway to Davies Creek National Park where you will find an easy trail through grasslands and intermediate trails taking in rocky creek crossings and eroded fire trails. This 15 kilometre loop through open eucalypt woodland can be split into three smaller rides with the closer trails easier for inexperienced riders.\nStop at the Transfield Carpark just 2.5 kilometres along the Davies Creek Road to access the trails.
