The ride is picturesque with rest areas and picnic tables scattered along the trail.

Anthill lookout provides spectacular views over Baragwanath Flat to Mt Phillack and Mt Whitelaw, whilst numerous species of mammals can be spotted in the snow gum woodland including wombats and deer.
All levels are catered for, meaning beginners right through to hardened experts can explore the area using pedal power!
Access to the Cross Country trails is FREE, bring your own bike or hire one from the Adventure Hub on mountain!
DH1:
Mt Baw Baw’s downhill mountain bike track has developed a reputation within the industry as one of the most challenging and exciting runs in the country.
The starting platform is located along side Currawong drive in the Baw Baw village and riders are faced with a choice of jumps before disappearing down the old chairlift run. Riders meander in and out of the bush and tackle log drops, berms, boulder sections, rollovers, jumps and challenging downhill ramps. Australia’s best riders have conquered the 300 vertical metres plummet in just 2:40 minutes. The main trail will challenge the most competent rider however those not so experienced have the opportunity to bypass the more difficult features via alternate routes.
