The trail network is primarily maintained by the Central Coast Mountain Bike Club, a community-run non-profit organization.
The trails are located within a working State Forest, meaning active timber harvesting can periodically force temporary trail closures.
The terrain is known for high-speed 'flow' trails as well as steep, technical downhill lines that challenge advanced riders.
Many of the tracks were hand-built by local volunteers over several decades, creating a unique, organic trail character.
The site frequently hosts competitive state and local mountain biking events throughout the year.
The Central Coast Mountain Bike Club (CCMTB) Trailhead serves as the primary access point for the Ourimbah State Forest mountain biking network in New South Wales. The site provides dedicated parking and trailhead amenities for a diverse array of singletrack trails ranging from flowy beginner loops to technical downhill sections. The trails are maintained by a local volunteer organization and feature berms, jumps, and natural rocky terrain characteristic of the region's eucalyptus forest canopy. Riders can access various difficulty levels directly from this centralized parking area on Red Hill Road. The forest trails are integrated into a working timber plantation, which occasionally impacts trail availability during forestry operations.

Check the official CCMTB website or social media channels for current trail closure notices due to forestry or wet weather before driving.
Bring a basic trail repair kit, as there are no mechanical support services on-site.
Ensure your vehicle is capable of handling gravel road conditions on the approach to the trailhead.
Riding on the trails immediately following heavy rain, as the soil composition is susceptible to significant erosion and damage.
Trails may close temporarily for forestry operations or safety reasons during extreme weather events; check the club's live trail status before visiting.
Always give way to uphill riders, keep to marked trails to protect native flora, and carry out all trash.
