The Jack Bobridge Track has varying degrees of difficulty between Lyndoch and Tanunda while other sections are relatively easy with gentle grades.

 

EAGLE MOUNTAIN BIKE PARK, MOUNT LOFTY, ADELAIDE HILLS

Not so much a trail, but more an adventure course. The Eagle Mountain Bike Park is suited to the risk-takers.

The park is home to 21kms of mountain bike trails, a jumps park and a trials area.

For the more extreme, the 4X trail with a double-diamond ‘extreme’ classification challenges the most advanced riders – so proceed with this one with caution.
