• You won't be able to ride down to Scutts Hut, but it is accessible on foot.
• Scutts Hut trail has rough uneven surfaces and is most suitable for mountain bikes
• The trail starts at Bark Hut picnic area and campground – a good place for a picnic or barbecue before you start the ride.
• Remember to take your binoculars if you want to bird watch

Discover the rugged landscape of Mount Kaputar National Park on your mountain bike on the beautiful Scutts Hut trail. The 20km trail winds its way along a ridge between two creeks, through magnificent bushland with amazing views. It makes a great day ride, and while you’re cycling, keep an eye out for the abundant birdlife, kangaroos and other local wildlife.

Before heading back, hop off your bike and walk down the track to check out historic Scutts Hut to see how pioneers lived in Mount Kaputar in the 1940s and 1950s.
