Penguin MTB Park and Dial Range
This venue is home to the Penguin MTB Park and the start and finish point to the Cranky Penguin MTB Marathon course. Penguin MTB Park & Skills Area Although there is only around 4km of trails in this park, what it lacks in quantity it certainly makes up for with quality. The trails snake their way around a disused asphalt speedway, twisting and turning in every direction. The highlight of the park are the creative wooden structures including a corkscrew bridge, a couple of massive berms and some skills sections. The wooden structures are amazing and punters will often ride them over and over again with glee. If you have not ridden these trails before you will love it. So much fun packed into such a small space (words Flow Mountainbike) Skills area - Watch the vids to see it all Video source Next Level Mountain Bike
