Local Info
We've spent thousands of combined hours riding Mākara Peak trails, so stop in for local knowledge on trail suitability and ride time expectations.
Up-to-date information on trail conditions, a park map, a trail list, and local weather details are below.
Mākara Peak is Wellington's largest mountain bike park, with over 40kms of trails ranging from steep and gnarly to kid-friendly rolling trails. It encompasses some of the most breathtaking landscapes on offer.
Trail Conditions
Mākara Peak is (mostly) great for riding year-round. After heavy rainfall, though, it can be a muddy mess (hence our name!). Awesome Ranger Mark from Wellington City Council provides up-to-date information about trail conditions and closures. His weekly report is below, or check out Trailforks.
And consider the local weather conditions. The weather can be unpredictable so bring a rain jacket and merino just in case.
Park Trails
Mākara Peak Mountain Bike Park is home to some of the most picturesque and demanding mountain biking anywhere. Trickle Falls and Vertigo are at the top of our list for mad and super-experienced bikers. Magic Carpet is our favourite for the little riders. Check out Trailforks and Mākara Peak Supporters for more trail info, or see the adjacent trail list.
