Mud Park

This will be MUD mtb’s first public trail! MUD Park is just outside Burrill Lake on some prime State Forest land. The Trail is all marked out and awaiting the Flora & Fauna study and also a soil test. (These are what SFNSW need before any trail work can start.) Although it has been a frustrating 12 month wait for the club, it has been worth it. We are very lucky to have found someone to do the study for next to nothin!

The trail has been designed with varied rider abilities in mind. It starts out with a novice short loop of around 1km, then a branch off this to a second loop for another K or so. For the keen rider, a third loop provides a technical challenge with the option for a novice to take an easier ‘B’ Line. The third loop will also have a quick flowing Down Hill mid section that rejoins the start, ready to take it on again!

So by easily linking it all together, all up 5.5km, not bad for a patch of dirt about 800m long by 200wide!

MUDs’ view is to set this first trail up to get Mountain Biking out to everyone. We also want to show the people of our area, and the decision makers, all the good bits that go with it. Then when we have earned our stripes, MUD will move into the hills and build and ride and build and ride and build..................
