Redwood Forest Mountain Bike Adventure

Ride along the historic O'Shannassy Aqueduct Trail on our scenic mountain bike tour.

Traversing 12 km of the O’Shannassy Aqueduct Trail this adventure will have you weaving through pristine Mountain Ash forests, mature fern gullies and bubbling creeks. The trail follows a now disused open-water aqueduct that once supplied Melbourne with all its water needs. It is a predominantly flat track with one short incline and a couple of fun rollers just before the turn off to the Redwood Forest. Following a slight downhill section you’ll arrive at your destination. Here you’ll disembark to forest-bath amongst the majestic Californian Redwood trees, some of which stand at 55m high, towering to the sky. Wander through the forest towards the river and explore the walking trails. Add your own twigs to the artistic nest installation and take that all-important selfie.

At the start of the tour your guide will run you through a safety briefing and kit you out with a helmet, gloves and mountain bike. At the end of the ride we’ll meet you at the Redwood Forest car park to load up the bikes and transfer you back to Warburton. Your guide will be on hand throughout the activity guiding and assisting you through the adventure.
