Eagle MTB Park

Eagle Mountain Bike Park, just 12km south-east of Adelaide’s CBD at Leawood Gardens, is one of South Australia’s best-known purpose-built MTB destinations. The park offers approximately 21km of cross-country trails catering for a range of abilities, alongside a dedicated downhill trail, skills development area, jumps park and trials zone. The network ranges from intermediate trails such as Fledgling, Hawkeye, North Face, Southside, Top Deck, Valley Trail and Blue Gums, through to more demanding technical options including Get Pitted, Hills Hoist, Jammin and Sunset Boulevard. Advanced riders can also tackle extreme-rated lines including The Mixer, Eagle 4X and On the Verge, making Eagle a compact but seriously varied place to ride within easy reach of the city. RTS Tip: Eagle’s rocky terrain can be tougher than the distances suggest, so use the easier trails and Pump and Skills Zone to warm up before progressing onto the harder lines. The park is open sunrise to sunset and closes during Total Fire Bans and catastrophic fire danger, so check conditions before heading out. Parking and toilets are available, but take your own drinking water and plenty of spares — Eagle’s rocks can be pretty unforgiving on tyres.
