Description |
Sharlands Creek includes an extensive network of gravbel roads and trails, but its status is unclear. The whole area used to be free to bikes and walkers, but things have changed in recent years and restrictions now seem to apply. The various sources of information available on-line are also rather contradictory about what, if anything, is now accessible to the public, and on what basis. The local MTB Club reports that - when the foresxt iusn't being logged - the trails are open, but how far dog access extends, and whether (like cyclists) you need a permit to enter the forest, isn't clear. So proceed with caution! |
