Getting There

The carpark is accessed off Flagstaff Gully Link Road. Take the Mornington exit from the Tasman Highway.

The Clarence Mountain Bike Park is located in the Meehan Range on Hobart’s eastern shore. It’s drier than the Wellington Range on the other side of the river making it suitable for use during winter.

Within the park there is a pump track, dirt jumps and a range of trails catering for beginners (green circle), intermediate (blue square) and advanced (black diamond) riders.

The park is set in a valley so the easy tracks are located in the flatter areas close to the highway.

To reach the top of the Meehan Skyline Trail the only way up is either – the Corkscrew Climb – which is a technically challenging intermediate track or K's Choice which is an easier climb but has dual-direction traffic.

There’s a choice of descending tracks with the Corkscrew Descent and Dinosaur Descent catering for intermediate riders while the Grassy Valley Descent has technical rock lines for advanced riders.

The park links to other tracks in the Meehan Range. A Skyline Fire Trail extends to the Parks and Wildlife Service managed Meehan Recreation Area in the Redgate section off Belbins Road. There are also purpose-built mountain bike tracks creating a loop between Flagstaff Hill and Caves Hill.
