Northern Farm MTB Park

The trail

Gauteng's marathon training ground: more than 60 km of swooping singletrack and farm roads through eucalyptus stands, open grassland and the banks of the Jukskei. Northern Farm is famous for its fast, flowing lines and big-sky highveld sunrises — and it's where half of Johannesburg's peloton logs their winter base miles.

The park is a working farm: gates, cattle and irrigation crossings are part of the deal. Day permits at the gate, coffee and rusks at the clubhouse afterwards.
