Cascades Trail- OPEN FROM RESORT CARPARK TO RESORT ENTRY GATE PICNIC AREA

Price:   $20 - Multi shuttle - May 2022 

*Temporary closure of lower half of Cascades*

The second half of the Cascades MTB Trail (from the resort gate to Marysville) will be closed from April 26^th 2022 to the beginning of the 2022 Winter Season. The trail closure is due to the extensive Lady Talbot Drive Hazardous Tree Removal Project that is being conducted by DELWP (for further information on this project, please visit delwp.vic.gov.au).

This project will heavily affect the operations of our MTB shuttle service for the reminder of the Green Season 26^th April – 15^th May 2022. However, we are working on how we can continue offering the shuttle service with only half of the Cascades Trail opened, with information regarding shuttles below.

The Cascades trail from the Lake Mountain resort to the gate will remain open, however, to reach Marysville, riders will have to safely ride down the Marysville-Warburton Road. Parking is available at the gate/resort entry picnic area for those who wish to self-shuttle.  The Lake Mountain Visitors Centre in Marysville will be open 7 days for any enquiries. (03) 5957 7201

For all weekday shuttles between 26^th April – 13^th May 2022, please contact our team the day prior to organise pick up points and times.

For weekend shuttles

• 30^th April & 1^st May
• 7^th May & 8^th May
• 14^th May & 15^th May

We will be shuttling from the resort entry picnic area, just past the gate to the resort. If you need more information, please drop into our Lake Mountain Visitor Centre in Marysville to talk to one of our guest service officers.

All weekend shuttle tickets will be at a reduced rate of $20 with shuttle vehicles driving between the resort (beginning of the trail) and the resort entry picnic area (15 kms down cascades/halfway point) to safely transport you up the road, back to the resort ready for another ride.

Please book one of the two times for a weekend day (9am or 10am) past these times vehicles will be at the picnic point every hour afterwards (11am, 12pm, 1pm & 2pm) for multi shuttles back up to the resort.

All riders using the shuttle service must meet at the resort entry/picnic area to check-in with the shuttle driver, it is recommended to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to departure. Please be advised that there is no phone reception at this location, therefore if you need any clarification, you can call us on (03) 5957 7201 before hand.
