Did someone say gravel ride?

Discover Australia’s longest rail trail on the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail – all 161km of it!
Open all year round this off-road experience is just that – an unforgettable experience. The route is suitable for all ages, and as a traffic free trail it can be ridden in many sections, whether it be a 20km or 161km ride. Hope on and hop off the trail at the stations that suit.

The Brisbane Valley Rail Trail connects rural towns such as Fernvale, Esk, Toogoolawah, Harlin, Moore, Linville and Yarraman. There is no shortage of farmlands, forests and picturesque settings. The trail has had extensive upgrades over the years, with a very smooth and hardpacked trail surface suiting a wide range of abilities. The northern end is more remote than the stretch from Wulkuraka to Esk, so do expect a different ride on the southern stretch to the northern one.

There a numerous outfitters who offer shuttle services, bike hire and accommodation options along the route. Visit Brisbane Valley Rail Trail to find out more on what you can expect along the way.
