North Harbour Mountain Bike Track 

North Harbour’s riverside mountain bike track has brought a new dimension to mountain bike trails near Brisbane. Our track is one of the best things to do in Burpengary and has been designed to suit beginners and families as well as intermediate level riders. Set along 6km of North Harbour’s  scenic river frontage in the Heritage Park precinct, the track is open 6am to sunset every day.

Project Director Bryan Finney said: “Our track provides a great opportunity for families to get out and enjoy the fresh air by our beautiful Caboolture River. There is loads of space for picnics, BBQs and opportunities to get together and enjoy this very special space.  

“We’ve had great feedback from people who have tried out the course, with many visitors saying that this is one of the best family-friendly mountain bike trails near Brisbane.” 

The mountain bike trail parking/ set off point has picnic shelters and BBQs and is also located not far from the Compass Centre in Heritage Park which has toilet facilities and water.  Additional drinking fountains and bottle refill points are located throughout the park.  

North Harbour Mountain Bike Track offers a trail loop almost 6km in length, suitable for beginner off-road riders / families.  It has a gentle gradient and generally smooth surface with some obstacles such as roots, logs and rocks. This track is suitable for beginner mountain bikers with basic mountain-bike skills and off-road bikes. 

For more skilled/intermediate riders the trail also features several (optional) obstacles, as well as a more difficult trail offshoot which has moderate gradients, a variable surface and obstacles.  

Opening hours: 6am to sunset every day.  

Things to note: 

• Dogs must be on a leash at all time: Unfortunately, due to the protected status of the Heritage Park area, no off-leash dogs are allowed in the Heritage Park (but we have two off-leash dog parks at Habitat Park) 
• No trail bikes  

• Always wear a helmet  
• Only ride on trails which suit your cycling abilities  
• Ride according to trail conditions  
• Take water, first aid kit, use sunscreen and insect repellent 
• Slow down and warn other riders when approaching  

• Give way when riding downhill  
• Keep trails in good condition by not riding during or immediately after wet weather  
• Respect areas closed to riding – Ride on trails only 
• Remember you are close to the river and farmland, closed areas are for your safety 
• Stay on marked trails and formed roads  

• Take your rubbish with you when you leave  
• Clean BBQs after use 
• We do not recommend walking along the mountain bike trails, there are walking trails at the opposite end of Heritage Park, which start from the amenities block
