Please note there will not be a shuttle service this season. Riders can still self-shuttle, which is a great option if you plan ahead with your mates.
Lake Mountain has quickly become a favourite in the mountain biking community with runs descending for 30km from the top of Lake Mountain through beautiful alpine forest all the way down to Marysville. Mountain biking is back at Lake Mountain from the start of November (Cup Weekend). The iconic Cascades Trail will reopen for the summer season, giving riders the chance to return to the alpine environment, refreshed trail segments and the cruise through to Marysville.
Keep an eye out for renewed sections of trail completed last year, including work at the back of Snowy Hill and below Sunds Road. Benny’s trail handiwork is ready for riders to enjoy, so ride within your ability, respect the mountain and make the most of the green season at Lake Mountain.

Loved by Locals and Visitors
The Mountain bike trails at lake mountain are great as they can be ridden by all abilities, with green loops at the top of the mountain to the cascades trail into Marysville. Each track pushes you in different ways and I personally think that the Cascades Trail is one of the most underrated trails in Victoria.
The Cascades, with its close proximity to Melbourne, should be on every Victorian’s MTB hit list, with its sensational flowing descents which will likely leave your forearms pumped up to the maximum!
Having our annual Xmas breakup ride, shuttles make it so much easier & drivers are always ready to help out!
The Cascades Trail is a fantastic way to spend a few hours biking. Go hard for 2 hours or take it easy for 4, there’s something for everyone here. The shuttle service is a great way to provide some money to the maintenance team - book online and rock up, it’s dead simple and a fantastic service.
