Mt Lennard
The Mt Lennard Mountain Bike Trail, within Wellington National Park, contains 40 kilometres of mountain bike trails of varying difficulties for riders of all levels. Whether you're a beginner or advanced cyclist, and whether you're looking for a relaxing ride or heart-thumping competition, you'll find it in the extensive trail system winding through the Ferguson Valley and Wellington Mill.
The trails tightly weave through the mature jarrah forest and granite outcrops to provide spectacular views of the lower Collie River Valley. The valley supports unspoiled vegetation, indicative of the cool, damp, microclimate providing habit for marron, kangaroos, cockatoos, many of our native marsupials and over 300 varieties of colorful wildflowers.
The local Noongar, which literally means man, believe that the Collie River Valley is connected to Ngarngungudditj Walgu. This mythical snake like being is said to have come from the north east and created the Collie River, the hills of the Collie River Valley and the Leschenault inlet, before traveling back up the Collie River to rest at Minninup Pool.
A trail heading off Pile Road offers parking and information.
The circuit consists of 6 loop trails ranging from 4km to 11.5km long. A map of the trail complex can be viewed at the South West Mountain Bike Club website: www.swmtbc.asn.au .
