They call it the builders’ playground. A gravity-led park in the Derwent Valley, Maydena is designed and built by renowned trail company, Dirt Art. Over seventy long-distance descents and options to suit everyone. The top is 820 metres up with views over the Tasmanian wilderness. After that it’s downhill all the way – literally, on trails by the world’s top designers. Froth levels run high at Maydena. Elite riders love the options and unbelievable scale, but there are flowy trails for intermediate and even novice riders too. You can bomb from the top to the bottom in fifteen minutes with all the air and bends the buzz has led you to expect. For a more laid back ride, go the Wilderness Trail with streams, dappled sunlight and monster eucalyptus, and a loamy soil you’ll want to take home with you. For breakout sessions and downtime, there’s a bike park section on the flat, with big berms and high speeds, or check out the café and bar. We recommend November to May at Maydena for optimal riding conditions.
