Ewen Maddock Dam – Ferny Forest bike loop

Along the way, riders can stop and enjoy scenic viewing points overlooking Ewen Maddock Dam… and you never know, a furry white bunny may even be glimpsed out and about this long weekend!

SUITABILITY
This path is primarily suitable for beginner mountain bikers and off-road recreational cyclists.

Be aware that this trail is purpose-built for mountain bike riding only, walkers and runners should head to the main multi-use track around the lake.

Bike riders may approach at speed from either direction and you need to give way to them at all times.

HIGHLIGHTS
A locally famous, mostly flat track for mountain biking that provides lots of fun twisty, turning trail time.

With no big hills to worry about, it’s perfect for a fast lap or a relaxing roll.

And a stalwart family favourite too as there are no notable hazards or obstacles either.

Beginner riders and kids will not find a better introduction.

AFTERWARDS
There are other bike trails to be enjoyed in this vicinity.

Check the signage board or online forums. Landsborough is the closest centre, and there is a big playground just before town for kids to enjoy.

There’s also a great, friendly little mobile café at the park entry if you need a caffeine pick-me-up, bite-to-eat or little treat after your fun adventure.

HOW TO GET THERE
Heading south on the M1, at the Caloundra turn-off, take Steve Irwin Way south and the park is approximately 6 km along on the right.

Heading north on Steve Irwin Way it's just over 4 km passed Landsborough turn-off with the park entry on your left.

There is signage at the entrance with a large map showing the trails you can do on this side of the dam.
