Goat Farm

Home of the WA state champs, the Goat Farm has 2 main downhill tracks and 1 XC loop in a condensed area.

Length: 7km (100% Singletrack) (XC loop)

Ascent: 200m

Getting There

Access to the Goat Farm is from Greenmount Rise, a small right hand turn off of the Great Eastern Highway at the start of the hill from Midland to Mundaring.

Route Directions

Part of the works in progress at the Goat Farm includes the addition of a map board and route sign posts. At the moment these are not in place but it's not hard to find your way around. Head to the top of the hill either by the twsity XC track to the left, the rough 4WD track at the back or do as the downhillers do and puch up the middle.

Once at the top, the 2 downhill tracks descend from the low walled area at the very top. The XC track continues to the South, just avoiding the top.
