3Rivers Trails NPC is an organisation which is dedicated to bringing quality mountain biking, running and hiking trails to the greater Thornhill region – a rural region approximately 40 kilometres to the west of Port Elizabeth, South Africa. The trail network has been in operation for seven years with trails being built and maintained on the properties of Woodridge College, Crossways Farm Village,

Bluegums Farm, Jbay Bike Park and Longmore Forest. At present 3Rivers operates approximately 200 km of marked trail, with approximately 35 km of this being purpose-built single track which can be accessed from any of its three trail heads located at Woodridge College, Jbay Bike Park and Crossways Country Kitchen.

☔️ Flood Damage ☔️

We know it’s frustrating having the trails closed — and we are just as frustrated. Closing the trails is never an easy decision.

The reality is that we have experienced an extraordinary amount of rain, with nearly 500ml since the beginning of May. After the first flood, our trail crew got back out there, working hard to repair the damage. Unfortunately, before we could complete the work, the second flood hit — and this time the damage was significantly worse.

Unfortunately the trails have remained wet, which limits what work we can safely do without causing further damage.

We appreciate your patience and understanding and can’t wait to welcome you back soon. 🌿🚵‍♀️

⚠️ TRAIL UPDATE - 12 June 2026 ⚠️

All trails will remain CLOSED this weekend due to significant flood damage that we have not yet been able to attend to. The trails are still very wet and conditions are not suitable for use.

The trail crew is working hard to get to everything, but repairs will take time.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

* Purple Cow

Please do not make use of any other trails and proceed with caution, as there is still significant damage in certain areas 🙏
