My favourite mountain bike track at Lake Mountain is Cascades trail, more specifically the Summit section and the Red Hill section. When I first started riding at Lake Mountain I found it quite challenging, as the upper sections of trails back in 2021 were quite rocky and technical. These days there are a variety of trail options, from riding the ski trails, a couple of beginner friendly tracks, and the Cascades trail.
While the full Cascades trail can be quite challenging, it is a really great adventure ride. If you’re a lower level rider you can just ride parts of it. Intermediate riders can choose “B-lines” or walk challenging obstacles and advanced riders can hit everything hard and fast – so it really is a great all rounder.
I often recommend my friends visit Lake Mountain, especially if they haven’t ridden there before, as well as encourage anyone coming through the Murrindindi Shire to ride their bikes there.

The easy way to ride Cascades. Park your car down in Marysville, catch the bus up with your bike, then ride back down.
