Trails: There’s now 110km of marked, graded, maintained mountain bike trails at Northern Farm. It’s divided into five main routes as follows:

Pink: 8km
Green: 12km
Blue: 22km
Red: 34km
Black: 68km

Northern Farm comfortably caters for all levels of riders, from beginners to experienced. The gently rolling gradient and gravel roads offer beginners an unintimidating experience that’s not easily found anywhere else in Gauteng. The Blue Route includes some basic singletrack and the Red and Black Routes offer intermediate and experienced riders plenty of stimulation, almost entirely via singletrack.

Local tip: If you’re up for it, there’s a 32km section of continuous singletrack on Black starting from Grassy Knoll. You’ll be relieved to finally reach a wide road after that!

Safety: The parking area and trails are monitored by security and with the Lanseria Airport next door, emergency response is impressive as they use Northern Farm as a training facility.

Operating hours: 06h00-18h00. Northern Farm is only open to mountain biking on weekends and public holidays.
