Yackandandah Mountain Bike Track Network

"Yack Tracks"

The Yackandandah Mountain Bike Track Network, also know as Yack Tracks, is located in the Stanley State Forest and has been built by volunteers travelling under the name of Yack Tracks Inc. in collaboration with the land managers (DEECA).

The goal of Yack Tracks Inc. is to create a sustainable network of well mapped and well managed long-form cross-country mountain bike trails that will be attractive to locals & visitors alike.

The trails are both low profile and very low impact. Remnants of the area’s mining history, in the form of water races are distributed throughout the forest providing a ready-made framework of shallow gradient links between more flowing trails, at the same time dramatically reducing the amount of earth that has needed to be shifted during construction. The local soils provide an excellent riding surface that exhibits good grip and erosion resistance.

Care has been taken to avoid the ‘spider web’ effect so that riders don't need to stop every 200 metres to confirm their position or decide on their next move. Long unbroken segment lengths have been created to allow riders enough time to fully embrace the track flow and enjoy their surroundings. Yack Tracks wanted to create an immersive journey rather than disjointed trail segments.

The trails are built for intermediate riders, providing a safe but enjoyable ride experience.

To find Yack Tracks head out of town on Bells Flat Rd then contine straight on Yack Gate road. The trailhead is marked on Google maps.   Download the Yack Tracks Trail Map below.
