Enjoy cycling in the High Country from Whitfiled to Lake William Hovell. You will pass numerous vineyards, former tobacco and hops farms on your ride and could think you have been transported to Italy.

Start in Whitfield and take the King Valley Road to Cheshunt. Over the bridges in Cheshunt and turn right onto Upper King River Road. This road continues to Lake William Hovell.

If you’re short on time, turn around at Christopher’s Road near the bridge. The top of the climb is marked with an orange post on the left hand side overlooking Lake William Hovell.

Return via the same road.
