Refer to the map on the Tumut home page for information on how to access the trailhead. Once at the trailhead, the track straight ahead heads into the western side of the Mundowie Loop. To access the eastern side, the entrance is about 50 metres off to the left.
Each trail can be ridden in either direction - even the advanced course can be ridden in the uphill direction as the obstacles are not insurmountable. As you will see in the photos below, the trail can be fairly thin - particularly on the advanced course - and at times it can even be a bit hard to distinguish as it blends in well with the surrounding environment. Be alert for walkers as the trails are shared use. I saw a few walkers each time I went out so be aware, slow down when passing and say Hi on the way through.
The Mundowie Loop forms the "core" trail of the recreation area with the other trails heading off it. The sign below is for the right hand or western side of the loop. The other side is about 50 metres to the left of this.
