Recommendations for Kowen Loops

When you get there you'll see they have different length loops clearly marked. The longest loop will be perfect for you and definitely don't miss the optional extra bit which is fairly obviously signposted because they both incorporate a couple of great xc descents. Then for variety you could do the middle length loop to get the kms up and the back half of that loop has a long traversing descent on it which is great too - Kowalski's sideshow I think it's called and a long flat-ish finish which is surprisingly fun to go fast on.

The loops have been marked for years - if you start by parking at the Sparrow Hill carpark, head up the road a bit then cross over, jump the gate and head up the fireroad (which I think is what most people do?). You should have no problem at all unless someone recently took them all out. Maybe the people you have spoken to have only ridden it during the Mont which starts at the opposite end of the forest and doesn't follow the normal loops.
