You Yangs - Stockyards Area

Stockyards - an amphitheatre of MTB delights for the more experienced rider..

Stockyards is for the more experienced rider and offers a variety of XC and downhill tracks. Trails 1, 2 and 3 are classified as Green (Easy), trails 4, 5, 6, 11 and 14 are graded Blue (More Difficult), trails 7, 9, and 13 are graded single Black (Very Difficult) and trails 10 and 12 are graded double Black (Extremely Difficult). Trail 8 is yet to be constructed. Click on the Trail Map link above to get a trail map.

Trail 14 (Junction Track) joins the Stockyards and Kurrajong MTB areas.

The You Yangs can generally be ridden year round and the trails tend to shed water pretty well. Parks Victoria has sensibly implemented a policy of closing the mountain bike trails when there has been heavy rain. To check whether trail are closed, you can check the Parks Victoria mountain bike website page here under the "Change of Conditions".

The Stockyards area is less suited for night riding due to the technical trails. Access the trails from the Sandy Creek Road car park where there is a night entrance into the park or from the main gate heading up to the rangers building and head over to the Stockyards area via Junction Track. Night riding in Stockyards would only be recommended for people familiar with the trails and only on the lower skill rating trails (ie intermediate).
