Uki Mountain Bike Park in The Tweed Shire is the first purpose-built mountain bike trail project in the area. Situated just outside the village of Uki and in the foothills of Mt Warning, Uki is ideal for a day trip from the Gold Coast and Brisbane, with a variety of trails at the new trail park.
There are easy green flow trails, an adaptive trail, a climbing trail, blue jump lines, blue trails in the trees and some black jump lines and a more techincal run as well. There’s also a pump track right near the carpark.
We visited just before opening, here’s our take!

Hey Mike here from AMV and Hayden we’re here at Yuko Mountain Bike Park in Northern New South Wales uh in the Tweed Council region checking out their new selection of trails so it’s about nine Trails here which includes a climbing Trail even an Adaptive capable Trail as
Well and a whole lot to descend on yeah so we’ve just come down one of the Blues up in the trees had some great roots and some really fun flowy jumps just over here to my left we’ve got a big black line with some proper jumps uh really
Excited to go and hit that one today and get some am miles what I really like about this location is it all all the trails feed back to the one Central Area down the bottom so it’s really great for families to set up for the day or
Whether it’s group of mates uh every Trail feeds back down there and you’ve got this nice open section to descend into it’s really good yeah so you could either come here and Bash out a heap a Laps on your cross country bike or be someone like me leave all your gear at
The bottom and just push run the naly stuff it’s a beautiful part of the world there’s lots of hiking to do we’re right on the foothills of Mount Warning um right close to the beach we’re not far from the go coast and I think that’s part of the appeal yeah so for anyone
Who lives in southeast Queensland or Northern New South Wales we’re only about a 2hour drive from Brisbane so day trip doable that’s what we’re doing today or about an hour from the Gold Coast yeah and there’s places to camp nearby lots of nice places to stay as
Well so whether you want to get an Airbnb or book into a local um local hotel or there’s show grounds to camp in too so making a weekend of it isn’t going to be hard So we’ve just come up a pretty mellow climbing Trail it’s got a few options on the way up you can peel off for a green descent so just before you get to the top of top of the hill and the Adaptive descent is on that side of the Hill too
But we’re right at the top which is probably the main descending Trail Junction so you can see just behind us we’ve got a blue truck that starts going straight down through the trees and if you come with me just around the corner here we’ve got a black Trail this is the
Airflow if you see any big steep kickers that’s on that one just there we also got two more Blue Tracks starting just here so good variety starting from the top with the beautiful view down below so a lot of people wonder you know what what bike should you bring to yukai
Mountain Bike Park I’d probably say what have a mountain bike you own I’m here on a track fuel ex so 15140 29er trail bike um it would be capable of anything here um but at the same time like there’s such a variety of trails with the green
Trails blue trails and a black jump line and an Adaptive trail that if you’ve got a bike that be that can be ridden Offroad you’re going to find something you’re going to enjoy here you got for the standing like a manin look at the way the
Way so we’ve just moved from the open planes you would have seen previously uh big wide fast open stuff lots of jumps we’re in the trees now it’s beautiful and shaded the dirt is much darker and really grippy it’s we haven’t had any rain in ages but there’s still heaps of
Moisture in the dirt and the trails are quite a bit narrow really fun and undulating you can see they’re cut into the bank so you’re constantly popping pushing pumping even the climbs are easy so let’s go and do another [Applause] One oh yes so ukai by Club has also built their own oh wobbling their own pump track it’s not quite done yet it’s a bit soft so I’m getting a bit of a sneak preview but anyone who watch his am and reads the magnos love a pump track anytime I can
Get out on this little bike and cruise around it’s good great for kids great for big kids like me and uh yeah it’s another cool thing to check out while you having a break from the flow tracks and everything else I the way that I handle the
Way at the way so we’ve been riding most of today here at yukai Mountain Bike Park um there’s about nine different kinds of Trail Trails here including the climbing Trail and I’ve had a whole lot of fun we’ve been riding in the trees in the forest and also in the open open
Trails that you can see here plus there’s a pump track too um I’ve really enjoyed that variety and being in a real special part of the world but what about you yeah I’d agree with that the variety is really good um for me obvious look at
Me I love doing jumps and there’s a proper jump track here so that’s awesome you know a publicly accessible track with big lofty jumps for me is a highlight anywhere yeah and look I think there’s there’s some kids riding here now and I think this place is always
Going to be going off with young families groups of mates um and Young Riders too I think it’s a really worthwhile place to come check out in Northern Us South Wales and you’re visiting the Tweed um be a day trip or maybe weekend away yeah super easy to
Get to the top as well the climb track is one of the easiest I’ve ever done super Meandering and quite Scenic the whole way up uh but there’s also a lot of clearance too so if want to push run some stuff Happy Days yeah well worth
Checking out but check out any of our Full Features online about the place too uh otherwise if you’ve got a question just drop it in the comments Below
