山地自行车安全
Whether you’re a seasoned rider or hitting the trails
for the first time, safety is at the heart of everything
we do at Lake Mountain. Before you head out, take a
moment to familiarise yourself with our safety guidelines.
Our trail crew complete trail checks every Friday to ensure all trails are safe before the weekend riders sweep through. Current trail conditions are regularly updated on each Activity page.
Not only do our ‘trail fairies’ just ride the trail, they stop to move large rocks, sticks, branches and chainsaw trees that have fallen. If you notice a tree has fallen, please report the location to us, so we can clear it as soon as possible. We work hard to maintain our trails to mitigate accidents from occurring.

Look After
Yourself And
Others
The main aim for everyone is to mountain bike and have fun. When mountain biking, always show courtesy to others and be aware that there are inherent risks in all mountain bike recreational activities. Common sense, protective equipment and personal awareness can reduce risk. These risks include weather, visibility, surfaces as well as natural and artificial hazards such as rocks, trees, stumps, machinery and other equipment.
