Sparrow Hill & East Kowen MTB Park

Sparrow Hill and East Kowen form one of Canberra’s largest and most rewarding mountain bike networks, with the two areas linked to create plenty of options for anything from a quick spin to a big day on the bike. Expect kilometres of purpose-built singletrack weaving through pine forest and native bush, with flowing sections, punchy climbs, technical features and fast descents. The extensive network means riders can build loops to suit their distance and ability, making it a favourite for XC and trail riders who enjoy covering ground and exploring. RTS Tip: With so many trail junctions and loop options, it’s worth having your route sorted before you roll out — especially if you’re linking Sparrow Hill and East Kowen into one longer ride. Forestry operations and events can also affect access, so check current trail conditions and closures before heading out.
