With world-class trails, forest roads, and relaxed facilities, it’s where your next adventure begins. Sappi’s wide-spread plantations, coupled with the vision and dedication of passionate local mountain biking enthusiasts, have resulted in a world-class trail network which is now accessible to recreational riders year round. All routes start and finish at the Karkloof Country Club where additional
facilities include safe
parking, hot showers, a place to wash your bike, as well as food and drinks on weekends – everything you need to enjoy a great mountain biking experience! In an effort to make the area safer and more enjoyable for recreational riders, the Karkloof Mountain Biking Club has implemented the International Mountain Biking Association trail-grading
standards across the entire trail network. There are marked and mapped routes ranging from a
very easy 10 kilometres and an easy 20 kilometres to a moderately challenging 30-kilometre route. Once riders become more familiar with the trails, they are then also able to connect to other sections, referred to as outback trails, which do not form part of the marked and regularly maintained trails, but allow riders to create longer routes and enjoy more variety.
