Hollybank Trail Info

.
Please note - A 125 mm or 180 mm travel dually is best to get the most out of the Juggernaut trail. 100 mm is ok. 

Hollybank trails cover over 20 km of trail, from sweet flowing beginners tracks (Track 1) to gnarly rocky rock drops (track 4&5) . Due to the location there are excellent opportunities for car shuttles that allow for 10 km descents. 

Trail Head / Parking - As you enter the Hollybank Reserve, you'll notice the skills area / pump track on the right. Parking is to the next right side, which is the trail head and map hut. Toilets to right near McNeil huts or drive straight through to Cricket Pitch picnic area.

Caution - Segways use walking paths that cross MTB trails (mainly green trails) so caution advised when crossing tracks. 

Trails include;


  • Trail 1 Green - No Sweat (5 km)
  • Trail 2 Blue - Tall Timbers (4km)
  • Trail 3 Blue - Juggernaut (10km - one way, 20km return)
  • Trail 4 Black - Ginger Ridge (1km)
  • Trail 5 Black - Reverb (0.3 km)

Getting to the top of Juggernaut 

Juggernaut is a 10 km ride, with the last 4 km UP. An alternative is to either ride via the road or have a few mates and shuttle to the top. Short cut shuttle map. Below bike sign marks shuttle road to top of Juggernaut (10km drive)

Road directions  to get to the top Juggernaut trail.

Most blue / black trail riders will mainly ride the top 4 km of Juggernaut and shuttle back up this section. This is easy to do as the trail cross the road at a few key places.

Trail 2

Trail name - Tall Timbers

Trail 3

Trail name- Juggernaut
Distance- 10km
Surface- Natural 
Difficulty- Blue Square/intermediate


Overview- Featuring over 6km of all out descending, and a further 4km of gradually descending this trail is already being hailed as one of Australia's best. With the ability to shuttle to the summit (self-shuttles at this stage), this trail provides a unique all-mountain (so enduro!) experience featuring a relentless mix of natural rock technicality and tyre-rolling berms and flow. From open rocky peaks offering stunning vistas, through to brooding, dark forests, Juggernaut is a journey through multiple unique Tasmanian forest types and terrain.


PS. This is harder than you think! It's not just a roll down a hill.....

Trail name- Ginger Ridge
Distance - 1km
Surface - Natural 
Difficulty- Double Black Diamond/Extreme


Overview- Ginger Ridge is an existing trail that we have given a little love. Built some years ago by local Rob Potter the trail is a frenzy of steep rock chutes, drops and turns. Suitable only for advanced riders this hand-built trail offers a truly challenging descent suitable for all mountain and downhill riders. The trail connects back onto Juggernaut via a 2km commute, or may be shuttle independently using Juggernaut as a lead-in from the summit with a pick up at the trails end.

Trail name - Reverb
Distance- 0.3km
Surface- Natural rock slabs
Difficulty- Double Black Diamond/Extreme


Overview - Reverb is not for the faint hearted, offering arguably the most challenging descent at Holybank. The short link provides an alternative diversion from Juggernaut, suitable only for highly advanced riders. This steep trail is littered with unavoidable drops and very steep rock chutes. For those with the requisite skill and commitment, this is one seriously fun trail!
