Cycling Trails
Some of Australia’s best mountain biking trails are nestled within the region. Melrose, Orroroo, Booleroo Centre, Laura and Jamestown are some of the locations where you can get the mountain bike out for an off road adventure. Trails are designed for various skill levels, with the black diamond runs guaranteed to test the skills of the most battle ready mountain bikers. There is plenty of single track and downhill riding to get your teeth into – push your comfort zone and try them out!
BMX and freestylers can strut their stuff at the incredible facilities around the region. BMX and pump tracks can be found at Booleroo Centre, Wilmington and Wirrabara and there are jumps bowls at Port Pirie, Jamestown and Melrose.
Up for more adventure? Why not experience the long distance challenge of the Mawson Trail? This famous cycling trail extends from Blinman (northern Flinders Ranges) through to Adelaide in the south. Ride a section, tackle it all for an epic challenge or spread out the journey by taking on a different section every trip. The Mawson Trail treats riders to the rugged landscape of the outback and northern Flinders Ranges through the gentle rolling hills of the Southern Flinders Ranges. If you are tired of riding, take the time to walk along the Heysen Trail, which also traverses the Southern Flinders Ranges.
