Description: The Yaughter loop is a loop of 11.5 km, mostly singletrack, but some forestry roads. Off this are many singletrack loops, some flowing, some technical. Not too much climbing or descent in a dry eucalypt forest. The southern trail has some forest trails but is mostly dual use pedestrian/MTB paths on the western side of the Barwon Reservior.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by granke on July 2, 2009
I visited these trails while my wife and I were doing the Great Ocean Walk. Drove up from Apollo Bay and took an old 50mm travel hardtail out on the trails. The Yaughter Loop is a series of singletracks joining up sections of forestry road. Into the outer loop are a number of inner loops. I loved Mariner's Run - just one bermed turn after another with a few interesting log rollovers, jumps through forked trees and and gullies. Also recommended are Foxtail and Grass Trees. No serious climbs but some serious fun... even though I had an argument with a tree about who had right of way. The Southern Loop looks good (especially Red Carpet) but I discovered I'd buckled my front wheel in the said argument with the tree (you might say it won) and I could only limp around.
Similar Trail: Sparrow Hill, Canberra (though it is less technical)
