Discover why the Southern Forests & Valleys is Australia’s home of gravel. From gentle rail-trail cruising to big-elevation forest loops and purpose-built mountain bike parks, there’s a ride here for every rider.
From Nannup’s valley views and easy rail-trail cruising to Bridgetown & Boyup Brook’s rolling country gravel, Manjimup’s expansive forest road networks, and Pemberton’s big-tree climbs, lake loops and MTB park laps, the Southern Forests & Valleys is built for every ride style. Add Donnybrook & Balingup’s orchard backroads and steady climbs, Greenbushes’ forested gravel and heritage lookouts, and the quieter long-haul adventures around Northcliffe & Walpole, and you’ve got weeks of world-class riding!
Choose your ride style from signature gravel loops on quiet forestry roads with rolling valley views, rivers and karri forests to family-friendly paths with easy rail-trail riding near towns and amenities, MTB parks and skills areas featuring flow trails, pump tracks and short, punchy climbs to long-distance adventures for multi-day touring that link towns, forests and rivers.
