National Parks and Reserves

This world-class mountain bike park has 34 kilometres of trails and features breathtaking mountain views and unique rock formations. The Dja Dja Wurrung people are the Traditional Owners of the country where the park is located. La Larr Ba Gauwa means stones and mountain in Dja Dja Wurrung language.

La Larr Ba Gauwa Park is in Harcourt, around 1.5 hours drive north of Melbourne.

All visitors are welcome at the park, with tracks available for walking and horseriding, however, the mountain bike trails are reserved for riders only.

There are 11 exciting cross-country trails in this park. Most are suited to riders with some experience, however there’s also a great beginner track for anyone starting out. Make sure you ride to your abilities. There is no potable water on this trail network so please bring your own.

Visitors should park in the Harcourt township and walk or cycle the off-road bike path that runs besides Market Street up to the La Larr Ba Gauwa trailhead (approx 4km).

For visitors looking to make a weekend of it, Picnic Gully Campground is located within the park and has formalised camping spots, toilets and fire pits to enjoy. Camping here is free.

Harcourt Valley has many fantastic places to eat and drink, particularly for cider fans, so make time to stop in for a refreshment.
