        Murray Valley Trail Area – Dwellingup, Western Australia

        The Murray Valley Trail Area is one of Western Australia’s premier mountain bike destinations, delivering a purpose-built gravity riding experience within the forested landscape of Lane Poole Reserve near Dwellingup. Located approximately 10 minutes east of Dwellingup township, the network forms part of the broader Dwellingup Adventure Trails system and is set among steep jarrah and marri forest overlooking the Murray Valley. Combining flowing descents, technical trails, progressive trail grading and scenic forest riding, Murray Valley has established itself as a benchmark ride area for gravity and all-mountain riding in the state.

        The network is characterised by sustained elevation, varied terrain and a strong focus on rider progression. Purpose-built descending trails range from beginner-friendly green routes to advanced black trails featuring steeper gradients, technical terrain and larger constructed features. The forested environment, natural contours and ridgeline terrain provide a riding experience that feels immersive and distinctly different from many lower-elevation trail systems elsewhere in Western Australia.

        Green-rated trails offer approachable introductions to descending, with wide tread, predictable corners, rollers and supportive berms suited to riders developing confidence. Intermediate blue trails introduce greater speed, tighter turns, steeper sections and more technical trail features, while black-rated trails demand advanced riding skills, incorporating larger jumps, rock features, technical descents and greater consequence. This progressive design allows riders of varying abilities to use the same network while selecting terrain appropriate to their experience.

        Several well-known trails have become synonymous with the ride area. Year 1 offers a flowing, accessible descent suitable for riders building gravity skills, while Inzamia and Karrakatoa use the valley’s natural topography to deliver longer, more sustained all-mountain descents through rocky forest terrain. Advanced trails such as Busted Nuts and Bam Bam incorporate larger features and technical riding intended for experienced riders. Climbing access is also integrated into the network, with designated ascent trails including Yarri Up, Fault Line and Captain Hook enabling pedal-powered access to the upper trail system.

        A defining feature of Murray Valley is how effectively the trail network integrates with the surrounding landscape. Trails wind through native jarrah forest, cross ridgelines and utilise the valley’s natural elevation to create long, flowing descents rarely found elsewhere in the region. Elevated sections of the network provide expansive views across the Murray Valley, adding a scenic dimension to the riding experience and reinforcing the area’s reputation as both a mountain biking and nature destination.

        Access Info:
        Trailheads, Parking and Shuttle Services
        The Murray Valley network is accessed through Lane Poole Reserve via Bobs Crossing Road, with signage directing visitors to the mountain bike trail area. The primary access points include upper and lower trailheads, with parking available at both locations. Public toilet facilities are located near the lower trailhead. Mobile phone reception is limited in sections of the valley, particularly at lower elevations, though coverage generally improves near the upper trail access point known as The Roost.

        The network supports both self-powered and uplift riding. Riders may access descents using designated climbing trails, while a shuttle road enables vehicle-assisted uplift to the upper trailhead. Commercial and volunteer-supported shuttle services are reported to operate regularly, particularly on weekends and during events, although schedules may vary. Current trail conditions, maps and local riding information are available through the Dwellingup Trails and Visitor Centre.
        Disclaimer:
        Permits, Access Requirements and Riding Rules
        Murray Valley is located within Lane Poole Reserve and is managed by the Western Australian Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA). A vehicle entry fee applies for access to Lane Poole Reserve. Riders are required to remain on designated trails and follow posted signage, trail directions and difficulty ratings. Trail classifications follow the Australian mountain bike grading system, and advanced trails include technical features, steep terrain and optional technical lines requiring appropriate skill and judgement.

        Helmets are essential, and riders are encouraged to carry sufficient water, tools and spare equipment due to the remote forest environment and variable weather conditions. Trail conditions may change seasonally or following weather events, making it advisable to check for closures or maintenance updates before travelling.

        With its combination of gravity-focused descending, technical progression, natural forest setting and scenic elevation, Murray Valley offers one of the most complete mountain biking experiences in Western Australia. The blend of accessible flow trails, challenging technical descents and purpose-built climbing access makes it equally appealing to developing riders, experienced gravity enthusiasts and visitors seeking a destination-level riding experience within the state’s South West region.
