Garden Path
A small rolling loop beside the ponds, useful for a short lap near the park entrance. This record covers the compact loop rather than every Garden Path connection.

Deviation
Deviation begins on a broader climbing section before turning into flowing downhill singletrack. It provides a loop option away from the Crocodile valley; expect a small tabletop on the descent.
0.4 mi
RickRolled
Riders describe a sequence of drops and a step-up before a more technical finish. Rickrolled is an advanced descent beside Off the Cuff, not an easy entrance-area loop.
0.1 mi
C2
This short C2 section belongs to the easier two-way route through the forest. It is one part of the connection, not a complete loop by itself.
0.1 mi
Upload
Upload is a short, steep switchback climb near the entrance. It gains the start of Download; the close-spaced turns make it more demanding than a flat access path.
0.1 mi
Download
A short technical descent near the entrance, paired with the climbing Upload. Drops and tight turns demand line choice despite its short length; this record is only part of the named trail.
0.1 mi
Tiga's
Tiga's is an easier climbing option from C2 toward the upper valley. Use the signed junctions to link it with Deviation for a return rather than assuming this segment forms a loop.
0.2 mi
Off the Cuff
Off the Cuff offers a longer, easier alternative to Spurious and Coopers Creek. Easier is relative: it is still a descending trail within the technical lower network.
0.1 mi
Coopers Creek
A drop leads into steep descending terrain. Coopers Creek is the club's expert option here; inspect the entry before committing.
0.1 mi
Spurious
A short descent with narrow, awkward passages. Spurious is a technical choice; Off the Cuff provides an easier alternative.
0.1 mi
Double Exposure
An expert option between Murphs and MishMash. Tight, exposed turns and technical features make this a significant step up from nearby easier trails; inspect unfamiliar features before committing.
0.1 mi
Uppercrust
A switchback climb within the lower forest network, more technical than the gentler C2 approach. It connects riding around Murphs and the Crocodile valley.
0.2 mi
Crocpot
A rooty descent near the lower Crocodile track. Off-camber sections make this a more technical return than its modest length suggests.
0.2 mi
Lower Deviation
The flowing descent below Deviation Hub. Lower Deviation runs beside the climbing Elegator; follow its downhill direction rather than using it to climb back up.
0.2 mi
Elegator
Elegator is the climbing line beside Lower Deviation. Short passing sections break up the ascent; use it to gain the descent choices around Deviation Hub.
0.2 mi
Murphs
A technical descent finishing near the rock garden. Murphs is a harder alternative to the C2 descent; choose it for technical riding rather than an easier return through the forest.
0.3 mi
C2
C2 winds through the pine forest between Halswell Quarry and the Crocodile valley. Its gentler gradient makes it a less steep alternative to the original Crocodile track; expect riders travelling both ways.
