Located on Alma Road, the Beechworth Mountain Bike Park is an area that is dedicated to Mountain Biking and has Cross Country Single Track, a Jumps Course, a Short Course Downhill and an easy Cross Country Circuit for novices of all ages is nearly completed. 
The Mountain Bike Park is open and undergoing renovations at present with the help and approval of the Department of Sustainability, Parks Victoria and Indigo Shire Council. This area is already a haven of riding pleasure and a fantastic example of a sustainable environment that includes recreation but we have a little bit to go yet. We are well into our works program and have rebuilt the Jumps Course with the help from Parks Victoria and will tweak this even more in the future. We have also regenerated areas that have eroded and have removed aging elevated ramps for risk reduction purposes. We have rerouted and lengthened some trails and are working on re-routing the last few bits of unsustainable track. We are also looking at some track lengthening and adding some black diamonds loops for a bit of variety. The full intermediate cross country loop is now just short of 10km and will definitely keep your heart rate up, we have plenty of rocks and turns to improve your skills. The short course downhill will be up for rebuilding soon so use caution on this trail at the moment as it does have areas of heavy going. Please use caution when riding on trails that you have not ridden for some as they will have changed. For a temporary map of the park download B Worth MTBPark002.pdf For a location map click here |
