Wondai – McEuen Forest

With around 20km of hand built trails thanks to the South Burnett Mountain Bike Club it’s one to add to the list!

Ewen Maddock Dam

The Perfect Introduction to Mountain Bike Riding!

Designed for beginners and catering to families the Ewen Maddock Dam loop (sometimes referred to as Ferny Forest) is the perfect spot to explore nature and build skills.

Pump those pedals and enjoy riding through the ferns, blackbutt forests and soak up the views of Ewen Maddock Dam and the distant Mount Beerwah. The trail is two directional at the start but the rest is a one-way circuit – follow clockwise. There is ample parking off Steve Irwin Way and access accommodates for all conventional vehicles.

This is also a great spot if you are looking to try mountain bike riding as the trail has very few technical features, relatively flat and flowy and has gorgeous views!
