Mountain Biking
Do you have a passion for shredding dirt and riding along flowing tracks, or want to discover that exhilarating experience for the first time? Cave Hill Creek has exactly what you need! Our forest trails are awesome for first-timers and enthusiasts alike. Our experienced guides are there to teach you tips on bike handling, and how to test yourself over the length of the track.
If you are looking to; learn how to ride, experience Mountain Bike trail rides, grind on the gravel, free ride downhill, flashpacking, CX or cross country – Mount Cole has it all. Even a couple of fantastic road loops. Our band of passionate guides love their bikes and love hitting the trails. Bikes and helmets are available here but if you’ve bought a bike you’re more than welcome to bring it along as well!
Climbing
Boulder, abseil over the cliff, climb the Giant’s Ladder, scale your Crate Stack tower and learn about Happy Turtles. Want to feel your adrenaline pumping? Then look no further. A challenging experience for all abilities with friends or family, raise your heart rate, and walk away with a fantastic sense of accomplishment. Available for ages of 7 and over.
Our abseiling site is located in Raglan Falls, a short walk from the Mount Cole State Forest, and offers incredible views of the surrounding forest. The Giant’s Ladder is an awesome test of agility, nerves and teamwork as you and a buddy help each other climb a 12 metre tall ladder. Cave Hill Creek has a dedicated bouldering wall that spans over a 30 metre long stretch with three different courses of varying difficulty. Enjoy the freedom of rock climbing (sideways) without being restricted by harnesses or belaying, however spotters are essential.
Paddling
Cave Hill Creek has water fun for everyone, no matter your level of experience anyone can enjoy a leisurely paddle across our stunning lake. Using our canoes you can explore the shoreline, learn some new rowing techniques, play games, sit back and soak up the beautiful surrounding and amazing wildlife. You never know, with a bit of luck you may even spot a platypus!
Our experienced guides have spent hours and hours on the water, and they’re here to share their tips, tricks and knowledge on how to build a water raft that floats. We supply everything you need to build it (e.g. the drums, logs, rope) and then you get to test it out on the waters. Be prepared to get very wet and make sure you’re well equipped with the right clothing and footwear.
A mobile Birds of Prey Exhibit hosted by Full Flight can be arranged at Cave Hill Creek for your group. Students get the opportunity to learn about and interact with these amazing birds, and see them in action. Visit www.fullflight.com.au for more information.
Ken Hooke’s Bush Hoedown Band provides fun for all ages, with a combination of easy to follow bush dances done in squares, lines and circles! A great night time activity for all types of groups.
