Murray Valley MTB Trails, Dwellingup

The picturesque town of Dwellingup is developing into a world class trails destination within a unique forested natural environment and stunning river valley.  Within easy driving distance from Perth and Mandurah It's an ideal location for day trip and overnight adventure activity for families, trail enthusiasts and international event participants. 

The 35-kilometre Murray Valley MTB network of purpose-built single-track trails offers riders a stunning experience with a variety of trail types and styles. From traditional cross-country trails through to all-mountain descents into the valley, and trails suitable for beginners to advanced riders - the Murray Valley trails have something for everyone!

Weaving through Lane Poole Reserve, the Murray Valley mountain bike trails are part of the Dwellingup Adventure Trails network, which includes walk, cycle, drive and canoe experiences. The icon for this extensive and exciting network is the karrak, also known as the forest red-tailed black cockatoo. Its large size, striking red tail feathers, loud ‘karraaaaak’ calls and noisy eating habits make this uniquely West Australian cockatoo easy to spot in the forests around Dwellingup and Lane Poole.

Bike hire and maps are available from the new Trails and Visitor Information Centre in Dwellingup which is a 10 minute drive from Lane Poole Reserve.  A cafe, showers and bike cleaning station are also available.

The Murray Valley MTB Trails were officially opened On October 16 2020.  The trails were funded by the Murray Valley Shire; Federal Government and State Government with Senator Matt O'Sullivan, Minister Stephen Dawson MLC And Shire President Councillor David Bolt all there to cut the ribbon.

Sincere appreciation must be extended to all of those involved in this project. The staff at both the
Shire of Murray and the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions have worked tirelessly to bring these trails to life.
