last week after coming across Rangers clearing the fire trails they advised that Gahnia and Serrata are closed following heavy rain in the same fashion as Manly Dam gets closed following heavy rain.
Apparently they look to present this information via the NPWS "alerts" section of their website but given the new nature of the trails and lack of resources this doesn't always get presented
Even though these trails hold up to rain much better than Manly Dam perhaps we should simply consider them closed when the Dam trails are closed to ensure everyone remains happy and supportive of MTB
Stupid question, cant both trails be ridden at all during the week or are they only closed during certain times? I have the day off tomorrow
Manly Dam is open
Seems to me like both Serrata and Gahnia are basically closed on weekdays and open on the weekend, up until the 5th of June

Awesome, so Gahnia can be ridden, nice. Thanks!
for the update
Does anyone have the link to the website again or knows who to contact if the trails are open this weekend?

Great thanks Daisy! Looks like both are open this weekend but I'll keep my eyes open in regards to any updates on this.
Gahnia was closed but Serrata was open.
Some work has been done to Serrata but it appears to suffer from an overland flow(unlike Gahnia) and there are some small mud patches and puddles towards the top.
Both trails are open and both were ridden. Ghania is in awesome condition and Serrata fun to ride as always. A few mud puddles maximise the experience
Mountain bikes need to be dirtyfied.
