Ride for Tomorrow Trail bike riding is great fun, but just so you don’t spoil the fun of others who come to use the forests, please note the following. Respect the Environment - Respect Others
DSE and VicRoads have developed some new signs to indicate noise sensitive areas where riders should ride more slowly and quietly. Obeying these signs is voluntary (ie. not a legal requirement), but if riders ride slowly and quietly in these areas, it will help keep the peace and be greatly appreciated by other forest users and nearby residents • Refer to map overleaf for key
sensitive areas
• Riders must be licensed - motorcycles must be registered
• Ride Legal - Stay on Forest Roads • Take your litter home For more informationThe Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) is responsible for managing Victoria's State Forest.

ROAD CLOSURESTo help protect road surfaces, water quality and the environment and to ensure driver safety, roads in parks and forests throughout Victoria are seasonally closed during the year, especially in winter or temporarily closed for operational (or other) reasons.
Most seasonal road closures take effect from the Thursday after the Queens Birthday long weekend and remain in force until the Melbourne Cup Day long weekend. Please note that not all road closures can be shown on this map as additional seasonally or temporarily closed roads may be added from year to year.
Please obey road closed signs and help us protect the environment.
