Council has worked in partnership with Caloundra Off Road Cycling Association Inc (CORCA) to improve the mountain bike trail network in the reserve. The partnership has allowed council to work with the riding community to ensure the network meets both international standards and is interesting and challenging to ride. With names such as Party Mix, Rocky Road, Golden Rough, Sour Power and Sugar Rush, there are trails for all rider levels. Visit www.corca.com.au for further information.
The trails at Sugar Bag Road are just a short drive from Sunshine Coast beaches. It contains over 60 timber features with trails rating from green (beginner) to double black (only the very brave dare to ride these tracks). Check out the 6.4 km mountain bike beginners loop via the Adventure Sunshine Coast page, which shows the trail map.
