Directions and notes

Follow Burnt Hill Road and head down to Marion Bay. Park somewhere in the Falls Festival area and then ride!
This is a pretty easy ride on mostly fire trails with a few good climbs and descents. Great scenery and wildlife and completely devoid of humans. Allow for about 3 to 3 1/2 hours return (photos, food stops and nature breaks included). Enjoy!

Nice easy ride with a couple of cool climbs and descents. Ride can be done in far less time than I've listed. Alternatively, you can continue north (from the end of the track I've plotted here) to Rheban.

Re private property: Yes, the sign at the end of the Falls Festival area states that the area (Marchwiel Forest) is a privately owned forest. I can't remember now how the sign was worded but it did allow public access.

Yep, a fantastic long ride of around 40ish kays return, the secluded beaches are a tempting side track. However I thought this was all on private property??
