This route is a quintessential gravel adventure that encapsulates the diverse beauty of Falls Creek. While it may be short in distance, the loop packs a punch with its long, sustained 10km climb to the top of Mt McKay and a road surface of inconsistent, soft gravel to challenge riders. Be rewarded for your efforts with panoramic mountain views, valley vistas, and iconic bushland scenery. Make sure you allocate yourself some extra time for a refreshing lake swim.
