Discover the fun of mountain biking on granite at Mt Marlay in Stanthorpe, where you’ll find trails to match all levels of difficulty, from beginners to experienced riders.

Mt Marlay is so close to the beautiful town of Stanthorpe, just 1.5kms from the town’s main street’s shops and cafes.

Since opening in 2018, the trails have been attracting both mountain biking enthusiasts and families giving it a try for the first time on the less challenging trails.

The Granite Belt is famous for its spectacular granite boulders and interesting granite outcrops and its here visitors can experience the thrill of riding on that granite.

A distinct advantage is that the Stanthorpe region trails (including Passchendaele State Forest and Broadwater State Forest) are on sand base, so when other trails around Queensland which are clay based are still unsuitable to ride after rain, Stanthorpe’s trails are ready to ride pretty much straight after a rain event.
