Harcourt Mountain Bike Trails

The Dja Dja Wurrung people are the Traditional Owners of this Country. La Larr Ba Gauwa means "stones and mountain" in Dja Dja Wurrung language. 

Enjoy 34 kilometres of mountain bike trails that take advantage of La Larr Ba Gauwa Park's stunning views and unique rock features. The Harcourt mountain bike trails cater to riders of all abilities from beginners to advanced. 

Walkers and horse riders are also welcome at La Larr Ba Gauwa Park and there are many tracks, including the emergency access tracks, to enjoy. For safety reasons, horse riders and walkers must not use the mountain bike trails. La Larr Ba Gauwa Park also includes the Oak Forest, a lovely place for a picnic.
