Donna Descent Mountain Bike Adventure

Dash to the top of the lookout tower located at the summit of Mount Donna Buang for picturesque views of the valley below before starting your descent.

Your mountain bike descent starts from the summit and is a 36 km downhill ride through stunning Mountain Ash forest with the occasional panoramic view out over the valley below. Majority of the ride is along quiet gravel and bitumen roads. After a short but steep climb the final 10km stretch of riding is along the iconic O’Shannassy Aqueduct Trail a now disused open-water aqueduct that once supplied Melbourne with all its water needs. At Dee Road picnic area you’ll cruise the final downhill section joining the Warburton to Lilydale Rail Trail for a short ride back to Oscars on the Yarra. 

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. Your guide will be on hand throughout the activity guiding and assisting you through the adventure.
