Derwent Valley
Trail Collective
Walk. Run. Ride. Explore the trails.
We’re a not-for-profit community organisation building and advocating for inclusive, multi-use trail networks stretching from New Norfolk to Strathgordon. We design and build trails for every kind of trail user: mountain bikers, gravel and adventure riders, trail runners, walkers, hikers, and horse riders, with something for everyone, no matter their ability.
We don’t limit ourselves to our own trails and projects. We also partner with other groups to help support and bring about complementary initiatives, such as the Derwent Valley Rail Trail and Bikes for Good.
To build, maintain, and advocate for world-class, multi-use trail networks across the Derwent Valley corridor.
Why It Matters
A network of trails with something for every ability, including isolated areas for MTBers and wider multi-use trails for shared use.
Accessible outdoor space that supports physical and mental wellbeing for the whole valley.
Trails, trail centers/towns and outdoor activities bring visitors and support to local businesses across the Derwent Valley.
Trails designed and maintained with care for the land, waterways and habitat they pass through.
