SaveMurray 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.
