Why do this ride: An area with a lot of Gold Rush history.

Difficulty: Don't be discouraged by the initial part of this ride which is very rough due to maintenance not being adequate for amount of traffic. It gets better once beyond the cottages and rec areas. Otherwise straightforward but can get very hot.

Other notes:  Our goal was Port Douglas but it was off limits due to Covid (so not part of GPX); should be worth the detour. Bring your swimsuit for a dip in lake at the end (we parked at one of the first rec areas).
