Yack Tracks MTB Parking Area - VIC

Large number of MTB trails accessible from this parking area in the Stanley State Forest.
This trail network has been built by volunteers
to create a sustainable network of well mapped and well managed long-form cross-country mountain bike trails that will be attractive to locals & visitors alike.
The trails are both low profile and very low impact. Remnants of the area’s mining history, in the form of water races are distributed throughout the forest providing a ready-made framework of shallow gradient links between more flowing trails, at the same time dramatically reducing the amount of earth that has needed to be shifted during construction. The local soils provide an excellent riding surface that exhibits good grip and erosion resistance.
Long unbroken segment lengths have been created to allow riders enough time to fully embrace the track flow and enjoy their surroundings. Yack Tracks wanted to create an immersive journey rather than disjointed trail segments.
The trails are built for intermediate riders, providing a safe but enjoyable ride experience.
