Route description: Riverhead forest is a large pine forest criss-crossed by gravel roads and 4WD tracks. Theres the snake trail, the fruit loop and the secret trail to name a few. The forest is large enough to get lost in so make sure you have heaps of time. The terrain consists of rolling hills, up to 200 m high.

• Be warned: after heavy rain Riverhead bogs have no bottom
• Forestry trucks [which stop rather slowly when loaded with logs], and motorbikes are other uses of the forest. The forest is closed during motorsport events.
• Don’t park to close to the access gates. If theres a forest fire your car may receive some panel changes.
