Everybody rides the Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail... and it is beautiful... BUT there is a hidden gem! The O’Shannassy Aqueduct trail. It is equally easy to ride but passes through stunning wilderness with very few people! It is carved into the side of the mountain so has stunning views at multiple locations. Don’t worry though, it’s a loop ride so you still get to ride the Rail Trail as well! Glorious!

This amazing trail is cut into the mountain leading away from Warburton township. You will hike 7km through impressive walls of ferns on this section as well as the amazing flora and fauna that adorns the whole amazing trail. This adventure is hands down better mid-week. On Weekends you’ll share the Redwood Forest with thousands of others …although you can look at them smugly knowing that you have been an intrepid adventurer to get there. Mid-week you can often be alone and therefore it’s completely worth taking days off from work. You will then be collected from the Forest and transported back to Basecamp.
