Michelle was absolutely lovely and very supportive as she taught the group. She built up and our skills and helped me understand mountain biking better. Would recommend her class for anyone wishing to get into mountain biking, or who has started but wants to gain some extra confidence.
Recently Michelle took a group of women in their 40’s out for a beginner skills session. This experience was incredible. Her knowledge & expertise was amazing. She allowed us to practice skills she showed us in a safe environment before hitting the trails. It was so much fun! I would highly recommend Forrest MTB & coaching with Michelle. It is well worth the drive.
Little shop, great value!!! A few weeks ago, I drove to Forrest to do a recon ride for the Odyssey, and after driving 150 km, I realised I had left my helmet at home. Michelle saved the day, and not only was I able to rent a good helmet, she also gave me a lot of up to date info on the trails. Can't thank her enough.
Exceptional service from Forrest MTB hire. My gears have never changed so smoothly since having my bike serviced here. Michelle is very knowledgeable and thorough. Highly recommend!!
I got to the Forrest mountain bike trails with a new bike I bought second hand. (I’m still figuring out all the small bits about the bike that need fixing). And I realised that my back tyre was flat. All I needed was a valve core. Long story short… Its a Sunday… the only day they shut. If it wasn’t for Michelle being so generous on her day off I wouldn’t be able to ride. She was kind enough to let me buy a valve core. Day saved! Thanks so much Michelle!
Michelle, is knowledgeable of the local trails and has a well stocked bike hire and repair shop. She's a friendly and accommodating person. Highly recommended.
Michelle is a legend! On short notice Michelle fixed a challenging issue with my bike. Only because of her skilled work was I able to enjoy riding the Forrest MTB trails without any problems.
Came by with an issue that would've put me off the bike for weekend trail getaway, took her all of about 3 minutes to assess, service and have me on my way. Fantastic service!

Great tracks. Even has a clean loo!
Fun, easy track. Good for the family. Note that there are two areas, the other one on the other side of town. Track 12 "Yo Yo" is overgrown for a reason. There is a very challenging climb!
My school had the craziest and most fun bike ride for year 9 camp. I didn't fall somehow and this experience was the highlight of the first week of camp.
World class trails with a bit of everything.
Great trails very well maintained love Marriners!
The tracks are all tidy, and well organized. Also happens to have fantastic scenery.
The Yaughter trail network is great, but where has the supposed millions in funding gone? Signage is outdated and lacking, no extra features or upgrades from last time I rode 2 years ago, no upgrade to amenities.
Fantastic single track MTB here, beautiful scenery and loads of choice!

Amazing view with serenity was mesmerising. Free car park, public toilet, sitting benches, shaded electric BBQ (2 spots), view of reservoir & dam lookout was very close walk of few minutes. Best picnic spot in the area.
Awesome place to visit for a picnic or walk. Learn about where our town water comes from.
This reservoir is really amazing and worths to visit. It has a good picnic area
Rest our soul here with trees, water, wind and birds 😊
Love this place, quiet and beautiful. Some fantastic walking tracks, and some fun fishing to be had. And it's close to the Forrest brewery for an amazing lunch too
Lots of childhood memories here but it's peaceful and easy walk around the dam and surrounds
Quiet place for some nice walks and meet friends for a picnic...
Really nice view
