Looking for somewhere to ride your dirt bike around Brisbane? Whether you're after a motocross track, a day of enduro riding, somewhere the kids can practise or a ride through the bush on a registered trail bike, South East Queensland has plenty of options.
We've covered ten destinations in and around Brisbane, from Fort Lytton and Willowbank MX to Queensland Moto Park, Gap Creek Moto and the forest roads around Mount Mee. Some are private ride parks, some operate through clubs, and others are public roads with strict registration and access rules.
Use the guide below to work out which one suits your bike and the type of riding you're planning.
WHERE ARE YOU RIDING THIS WEEKEND?
From a few laps at Willowbank to a weekend at Queensland Moto Park, find somewhere that suits your bike and the way you ride.
Riding in State Forests? Queensland requires a road-registered motorcycle and the appropriate licence. Stick to permitted roads and check current closures before riding.
Which Brisbane Dirt Bike Riding Spot Should You Choose?
Willowbank MX has different tracks for peewee, junior and senior riders. Book ahead and check weather updates.
Queensland Moto Park combines junior tracks, motocross, enduro riding and camping.
Gap Creek Moto offers MX and bush loops, while Toowoomba Motorcycle Club is worth investigating if you're happy to join.
Fort Lytton MX runs structured coaching and organised practice, with session requirements to check beforehand.
Kilcoy MX runs scheduled club activities, practice days and competitions rather than unrestricted public riding.
Mount Mee, Lockyer and Beerburrum offer permitted forest-road riding, subject to road access and Queensland registration rules.
Brisbane Dirt Bike Riding Map
The Firestorm map shows the main motocross venues, riding parks and general areas where legal forest-road riding may be available. It's a regional guide rather than a map of approved motorcycle routes.
If you're taking an unregistered MX bike, a private riding park or approved club session is usually the place to start. The following venues offer different combinations of motocross, junior riding, coaching and enduro trails.
Fort Lytton Motocross Club — Brisbane
Location: Lytton, Brisbane
Fort Lytton is a handy option for riders on Brisbane's eastern side, particularly if you're interested in improving your motocross technique or getting a young rider started.
The club caters for different abilities through structured coaching, junior sessions and organised motocross practice. Some sessions run under lights, and bike hire may be available for certain coaching arrangements.
Before You Go: Check the current session calendar, coaching bookings, bike eligibility and entry requirements.
Willowbank MX — Ebenezer, Ipswich
Region: Ebenezer / Ipswich
If you're keen to get some laps in without joining a racing club, Willowbank is one of the easier venues to investigate for a recreational motocross day.
The park has tracks suited to different abilities, including peewee, junior, intermediate and more demanding senior layouts. It's a day-riding venue rather than a camping destination.
Before You Go: Check bookings, visitor limits, current track availability and rain cancellations.
Queensland Moto Park — Scenic Rim
Location: Goan Road, Coulson / Wyaralong
Queensland Moto Park (QMP) is a strong choice when you've got riders with different interests or abilities. You can spend time on the motocross tracks, explore enduro terrain or take the kids to the junior areas.
The park covers more than 1,800 acres and has camping, toilets, showers, a cafe and bike wash facilities. It's well suited to turning a ride day into a weekend.
Before You Go: Check which tracks are currently operating, weather conditions, entry requirements and camping arrangements.
Gap Creek Moto — Tregony
Region: Tregony, west of Cunningham's Gap
Gap Creek Moto is a good option if you prefer a mixture of motocross and bush riding rather than doing laps of the same track all day.
The property has junior and senior motocross tracks, a mixed-use area and roughly 20 kilometres of enduro and trail loops. Camping is available, making it worth considering for a weekend away.
Before You Go: Online bookings are essential. Check operating dates, weather conditions and the venue's bike and protective-gear rules.
Clubs can offer excellent riding, coaching and competition opportunities. Just remember that a club track isn't automatically open whenever you feel like turning up. Check the calendar and entry conditions first.
Kilcoy Motocross Club — Glenfern
Region: Glenfern / Kilcoy
Kilcoy is an established club venue for junior and senior motocross riders. The club runs organised practice and race days, as well as coaching opportunities.
It's worth following if you'd like to get involved in motocross rather than simply book into a recreational park. Some practice sessions may accommodate non-members, but event rules vary.
Before You Go: Check the latest calendar, operating arrangements and membership or competition-licence requirements.
Toowoomba Motorcycle Club — Murphys Creek
Region: Murphys Creek / Toowoomba Range
For riders who'd rather spend their time in the bush than on an MX circuit, Toowoomba Motorcycle Club is worth a look.
Its riding property near Murphys Creek has trails, camping and organised enduro events. Members may be able to use the property outside competition days when conditions and club arrangements permit.
Before You Go: Membership or day membership is required. Check property closures, events and current access arrangements.
Reliability Trials Club of Brisbane (RTCB)
Location: Event locations vary
RTCB is worth keeping an eye on if you enjoy organised trail rides on different properties rather than riding at a permanent motocross circuit.
The club publishes event locations and riding requirements ahead of each ride, with options for recreational riders. It's an event-based club, not a public park at a fixed Brisbane address.
Before You Go: Check the latest event calendar, membership, pre-registration and individual event conditions.
If you own a road-registered trail bike, there are some good forest-road riding options around Brisbane. These aren't motocross parks, and you can't ride wherever you like just because a track appears on a map.
In Queensland, use only roads legally open to motorcycles. Riders need the appropriate motorcycle licence and a fully road-registered motorcycle. Conditional recreational registration isn't enough for these public roads.
Important: Don't ride informal singletrack, walking trails, mountain-bike trails or closed forestry roads. Check Queensland Parks for official maps, access requirements and park alerts before heading out.
Beerburrum & Beerwah State Forests
Region: Glass House Mountains / Sunshine Coast hinterland
North of Brisbane, the Beerburrum and Beerwah forest areas are worth investigating for registered trail-bike riders who enjoy exploring formed forestry roads.
These are shared-use areas. Expect other vehicles, cyclists and people enjoying the forest, and be aware that forestry operations or weather can affect access.
Before You Go: Check which roads are open to motor vehicles. Walking and mountain-bike tracks are not motorcycle routes.
D'Aguilar National Park — Mount Mee
Region: Northern Mount Mee section
Mount Mee is a popular choice for riders who like winding dirt roads, hills, creek crossings and a bit of variety under the wheels.
The important distinction is that motorcycle access is limited to the designated forest-drive network in the park's northern section. Other trails aren't automatically open to bikes.
Before You Go: Check official route maps and closures. The forest-drive network has a 40 km/h speed limit and conditions can change after rain.
Lockyer National Park — Lockyer Valley
Region: Helidon / Lockyer Valley
Lockyer offers unsealed-road riding west of Brisbane, with hills, loose surfaces and sections that can be tricky after wet weather.
Motorcycle access is limited to specified formed roads. Side tracks and unauthorised trails are off-limits, so plan your route using the current Queensland Parks information.
Before You Go: Confirm the legal roads, current park alerts, road surface conditions and your fuel range.

Motorcycling Queensland →Where Can Kids & Beginners Ride?
If you're taking young riders, it's worth choosing somewhere with a dedicated junior or peewee area rather than expecting them to share a senior motocross track.
Willowbank MX has peewee and junior options, while Queensland Moto Park has junior riding areas alongside its larger tracks and trails. Fort Lytton is particularly useful if you're looking for structured coaching rather than simply turning up for practice.
Kilcoy offers junior opportunities through organised club activities, and Gap Creek Moto has riding options for smaller bikes. Check age limits, bike capacity, safety gear and supervision requirements with each venue before booking.

Before You Load Up
There's nothing worse than unloading at the track and finding a problem that could've been sorted in the shed. A quick check of the bike and your gear before leaving is time well spent.
NOT AT THE TRACK.
Give the bike a once-over, pack the basics and make sure everything's ready before you hit the road.
Inspect tread, damage & set pressures for the conditions.
Look at pad wear, discs, and levers.
Check chain tension, lubrication and sprocket teeth.
Take tools, a spare lever, puncture gear and fuel.
Don't Forget the Ride-Day Essentials
Pack your helmet, goggles, gloves, boots, body protection, water and any fuel or food you'll need. Check the ramps and tie-downs before loading the bike.
Heading to an MX Track? Confirm that the venue is open, check weather updates and make sure you've booked or registered for the correct session.
Heading into the Forest? Take offline maps, check road closures and fuel range, and let someone know your planned route and return time. Mobile reception can be patchy in some riding areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where Can I Ride an Unregistered Dirt Bike Near Brisbane?
Private recreational riding parks such as Willowbank MX, Queensland Moto Park and Gap Creek Moto are good places to investigate. Some club events may also accept unregistered bikes under their own rules. Unregistered motocross bikes cannot be ridden on public forest roads.
What's a Good Place for Enduro Riding Near Brisbane?
Queensland Moto Park and Gap Creek Moto offer dedicated enduro or trail riding. Toowoomba Motorcycle Club is another option if you're willing to arrange membership. RTCB also runs organised trail-ride events at changing locations.
Can I Ride a Dirt Bike at Mount Mee?
Yes, but only on the designated forest-drive roads in the northern Mount Mee section of D'Aguilar National Park. You need the appropriate motorcycle licence and a fully road-registered bike. Check official maps and current closures.
Are There Dirt Bike Tracks for Kids Around Brisbane?
Yes. Willowbank MX and Queensland Moto Park have dedicated junior riding areas, while Fort Lytton offers organised coaching. Other parks and clubs may also run junior sessions. Check age, bike and gear requirements first.
Do I Need a Motorcycle Licence to Ride at an MX Park?
Not necessarily a road motorcycle licence. Private parks have their own rules, and organised club competition may require a motorsport licence. Public forest-road riding is different and requires the appropriate road motorcycle licence and registration.
Can I Ride on Any Forestry Track in Queensland?
No. You can only ride on roads legally open to motorcycles. Informal singletrack, closed roads, walking tracks and mountain-bike trails are not approved riding routes merely because they're visible or accessible.
Before You Head Out
Check the riding calendar or booking arrangements before loading the trailer. Rain can be enough to close an MX track, and club practice days don't necessarily run every weekend.
If you're heading into a State forest or national park, make sure your bike is fully road registered, you've got the right licence and you know which roads you're legally allowed to use.
