Yarra Valley: Redwood Forest Mountain Bike Adventure

Mountain Bike Tour to Warburton Redwood Forest via O'Shannassy Aqueduct Trail

This 12 km mountain bike tour in Warburton suits outdoor enthusiasts seeking a scenic ride through forest trails and historic aqueduct paths.

Description

Cycle along the historic O’Shannassy Aqueduct Trail, passing through Mountain Ash forests, mature fern gullies, and creeks. The trail follows a disused open-water aqueduct that once supplied Melbourne’s water, featuring mostly flat terrain with one short incline and several rollers before reaching the Warburton Redwood Forest.

At the forest, explore among the towering Californian Redwoods—planted over 90 years ago and listed by the National Trust. Wander walking trails leading toward the river, add a twig to the artistic nest installation, and capture photos.

Your guide provides a safety briefing at the start and supplies a helmet, gloves, and mountain bike. After the ride, meet at the Redwood Forest car park for bike loading and transport back to Warburton. Guides assist throughout the activity to ensure safety and navigation.
