Smithfield Mountain Bike Park

Highlight • MTB Park

Smithfield bike park has a great range of trails for all skill levels - from the green trails near the Trailhead to the double blacks up the top.

Personal favorites are "Pipeline" and "Caterpillars."

If you want to skip the green trails, it's possible to access the trails via the back of the University.

Smithfield Conservation Park

Highlight • MTB Park

Smithfield Conservation Park protects tropical rainforest, eucalypt woodland, ridgelines, and gullies on the lower slopes north of Cairns. The park is popular with walkers and mountain bikers thanks to its extensive shared trail network winding through dense forest and steep terrain beneath the Wet Tropics canopy. Trails range from beginner-friendly green routes to more technical climbs and descents deeper in the park.

Pipeline Track

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Pipeline Track is one of the more challenging trails in the Smithfield network, climbing and descending through dense rainforest with steeper gradients, flowing turns, and long uninterrupted forest sections. Originally designed as a mountain biking trail, it passes through some of the park’s thickest tropical vegetation and can become extremely slippery in wet weather.

Flat Snake Track

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Flat Snake is one of the easier green-rated trails in Smithfield Conservation Park, winding through lower rainforest sections and flatter terrain beneath dense tropical canopy. Despite the easier rating, the trail still includes roots, rocks, logs, and small obstacles typical of the Smithfield network, especially after wet weather when surfaces become slippery.
