Mountain Biking Railway Reserves Heritage Trail
#17 of 61 mountain bike trails in Western Australia
Located within the picturesque Perth Hills in Western Australia, Railway Reserves Heritage Trail retraces 59 kilometres of the old Eastern Railway that formerly linked Fremantle to York in the late 1880s.
This popular walking, cycling and horse riding rail trail begins its journey at Bellevue forming a unique 41 kilometre loop at Mount Helena entirely on railway formations, before extending to Wooroloo Reserve.

Or any other trail head along the route
The Trail can be accessed via many entry points along the 59 kilometre route, making it easy to start your journey from a variety of locations. Many of the reserves are now community parks providing picnic tables, toilets and other facilities to complete your experience.
Technically challenging? No
Safe, well-marked trails with regular facilities breaks available? Yes!
I used to under-rate this trail - not challenging enough, so what is the point? However, tell a roadie that there is a 40km loop that is totally car-free, and it would be like peak-hour bicycle traffic there all of the time.
So, lets think of it is an undiscovered gem - and don't tell the roadies!
