Its a XC loop of about 10km. Its mostly pretty easy. In saying that though, there is a rock staircase climb that is pretty tricky, and there is a decent drop going down towards the bottom of the dam. Its got a pretty nasty landing. Its a good fun loop. Easy enough for beginners, but tough enough to be interesting if you're going fast in places.

I have only ridden it once, did it on my Norco Sasquatch, walked the steep bits up, caned down the good bits down and WILL ride it again ,for sure.

You only enjoyed it 'cause you were riding a NORCO!;)
hey i go there almost once a week
its a great xc course that at an average pace will take maybe an hour. I think the standard loop is 11km, but there are heaps of other trails that you can link to make one very interesting ride. My personal favourite bit is goin flat out on the open bits then goin on the natural rock berm (try to pick it out as u ride ;) ).
Awesome fun and definately worth a looksie :D . The only advice i would suggest is go with someone who knows the track as some parts include roads to link trails
