KEEPING IT CLEAN AND GREEN - we would like to remind all users along Croft Road to slow down to reduce the effect of dust on those that live in the area and ensure all waste is removed from the riding areas as well as the roadside.

CUDLEE CREEK IS AN INTEGRATED NETWORK INCORPORATING

• New cross country trails built to best practice design standard

• Existing cross country trails popular for racing and recreational mountain biking

• Downhill trails with new sections designed and built for greater sustainability

• A selection of existing management tracks deemed appropriate for recreational use

• Links to the Mawson Trail

• Improved car parking and turn around facilities

• Trailhead signage and facilities

The network is fully sign posted with Mawson Loop Trail markers showing the trail classifications and directional arrows. The network provides the opportunity for a diversity of high quality off road riding experiences. Cudlee Creek Sustainable Trail network has been the host of a range of national and local Mountain bike, X-Country, downhill and endurance races since it's inception, and has developed a reputation as having some of the best trails in Australia.

Bicycle SA thanks the Office for Recreation and Sport and ForestrySA for providing funding to undertake this project, and all other stakeholders for their commitment and cooperation.
