  • Mountain biking: Intermediate

Length: Full circuit 2.6km

Time: 35-45 mins

Parking: Carpark off Cornwall Street (near Rose Bay High School)

Dogs: on -lead

Follow the bitumen track up the hill from the carpark. Ignore the first tracks to the left and right. Instead, follow the uphill track for about 100 metres to a T-junction. Turn right and follow the track for 500 metres, turning left at the bottom of timber steps and go along a straight section.

The track branches to the left and heads steeply uphill along the boundary fence. At the next intersection, turn left (a house will be visible ahead) and climb uphill, then downhill. There are views of the River Derwent from Lutana to the Tasman Bridge and Hobart.

Continue around the circuit and turn left onto the footpad (don’t take the track that goes downhill). The track becomes narrow and less well formed. Follow it around the hill until you return to the bitumen track that leads to the carpark.

This reserve is managed by Parks and Wildlife Service.
