Lysterfield Mountain Bike (MTB) Trails
Discover our trails
Lysterfield Park is home to more than 24km of purpose-built mountain bike trails, making it one of the best riding destinations close to Melbourne. From flowing beginner tracks to technical singletrack, the network offers something for riders of every skill level.
The trails wind through rolling hills, dense plantations and granite outcrops, creating a riding experience that feels far removed from the city. Along the way you’ll find the Commonwealth Games mountain bike course, scenic lake loops and challenging climbs with views across the park.
The Lysterfield District Trail Riders (LDTR) work alongside Parks Victoria to help maintain and support this trail network through volunteer dig days, trail adoption programs and community events.
