Trails for Every Type of Rider
We get it. Not everyone wants the same kind of ride. That’s why Wellington East serves up a variety of trails with different grades, vibes and views.
Please consider your skills and experience before choosing a trail.
Van Dam
This trail winds its way high in the forest then follows a fun, fast-flowing descent to the Sika Trail and Potters Gorge. It has some small rocky features to test your skills and optional blue (moderate) rocky sections to challenge the more experienced riders.
4 Star Adaptive Trail Rating – Highly Accessible
Weir Ya Goin'
This trail features an easy climb with blue shortcut options. Whether you continue from the top to the kiosk or to Van Dam for another lap, this trail will get you Weir Ya Goin’.
Big Dipper
This flowing cross-country trail starts with a climb but rewards you with berms and rollers that will make you yahoo and whoopee all the way down. Loved a section you just rode? Watch for two loopback options using Lichen This to get straight back to the fun.
4 Star Adaptive Trail Rating – Highly Accessible
Lichen This
This photogenic climb features some tight and spectacular switchbacks, creek crossings, and lichen and moss-covered boulders, but you may not notice if you’re gasping for air. Lichen This or hatin’ this … you’ll remember it.

Jabitj
Jabitj is the Noongar word for ‘running water’. The trail follows the Collie River between the Kiosk and Honeymoon Pool. It passes a series of deep freshwater pools and large granite outcrops. The trail is steep and rocky in places.
Dual Direction & Shared-Use Trail – Walk & Cycle
Sika
This walk and cycle trail winds through a forest of marri, jarrah and blackbutt with views of the Collie River valley and Wellington Dam. It has a compacted surface with gentle hill sections and occasional rock steps.

Elixir
Big berms, hips and jumps create a perfect recipe for flow. One sip of this magical Elixir will have you coming back for more.
Scull
Like a rower across the dam this trail will have you weaving back and forth. A narrow trail and rocky jumps give it an old school feel.
Pipe'n Hot
What’s better – surfing or riding? This descent gives you the chance to do both as you take to the air off the jumps, then snap off the lip in a dirt wave down a very steep gully.
Whip'n Hollow
Rip down to the Collie River around a series of exciting tight berms as you descend a steep gully.
Collector
Going up? This short traverse collects riders before sending them back up the hill on Watts Up.
Dam It
This fast and natural descending trail with plenty of rock on offer will have you saying ‘Dam It’ every time you ride past the spectacular view of the Wellington Dam mural. Luckily it finishes with a flowy rollercoaster to put a smile back on your face.
Watts Up
Watts Up? Your heart rate will be after this short but gruelling climb. If that’s not enough, test your skills on the harder A-Lines spaced along the trail.
Dandjoo
Nothing is achieved alone. Dandjoo is a Noongar word that means ‘together’. This trail offers everything with tough climbs, rocky descents, natural jumps and a long descent to the finish showing the best achievements involve a little bit of everything.
Firetail
This black alternate trail off Dam It heats up and builds in difficulty as you ride over rocks and logs finishing with a long descent through a rock garden.
Wam Bam
This is the second black alternate descent off Dam It. This trail builds on Firetail offering more technical features and rocky step downs to push your skills to the limit.
Black Glove
Forget Black Glove, this trail will have you feeling like a black belt if you can master the steep and challenging rock gardens, kicker jumps, step downs and switchbacks.
EPIC
What better way to experience everything Wellington National Park has to offer than by riding the length of the network in a single EPIC loop. This EPIC ride combines 15 green and blue trails and starts at the Kiosk or Pile Road. Look for the ‘EPIC trail’ markers.
Munda Biddi
The Munda Biddi is WA’s iconic dual direction, long-distance off road cycling trail, stretching from Mundaring to Albany through some of the state’s most stunning natural landscapes.
3 Star Adaptive Trail Rating – Mostly Accessible
