Forest Use
Strathbogie State Forest occupies approximately 30,000 hectares, comprising of mixed eucalypt forest and pine plantations. The forest provides a large network of roads and tracks that can provide excellent riding experience for the complete beginner to the more experienced trail bike rider. Some roads and tracks can be very challenging and track conditions may change throughout the year. The forest also caters for a range of other recreational activities as well as commercial forestry. When travelling on the forest roads and tracks be aware of log trucks and other vehicles.

Location and Access

Strathbogie State Forest is located approximately 130km north of Melbourne between the townships of Bonnie Doon, Violet Town and Benalla. Access to the forest is a short drive from the Hume Freeway, Midland Highway or Maroondah Highway.
