Dwellingup a trailblazer for mountain biking

A 35 kilometre network of new mountain bike trails has officially opened in Lane Poole Reserve, as part of the $8.4 million Dwellingup Adventure Trails project.

The new Murray Valley network of trails includes traditional cross-country trails through to all-mountain descents into the valley, and includes a range of trails that are suitable for beginners to advanced riders.

In addition, Dwellingup Adventures has been announced as the proponent of a pop-up trail centre in Lane Poole Reserve. This will include a kiosk, bike and canoe hire and will link with the proposed trail centre in the Dwellingup townsite which will also service the mountain biking and trails community.

Canoe launching facilities have also been replaced at Island Pool in Lane Poole Reserve, with new steel and fibreglass stairs, improving visitor access for canoeing and swimming.

The three-year Dwellingup Adventure Trails project is jointly funded by the WA Government, the Shire of Murray and the Australian Government.
