The CSU trail is the result of a student led initiative located at Charles Sturt University’s Albury campus. The project included consultation with students and facilities management culminating in the design and construction of a 1.7km XC and skills development loop. With only 11m of elevation, an imaginative and innovative approach was required to produce an engaging fun user experience. Tonnes of rock, soil and logs were imported to build the progressive technical trail features. At the students request, timber balance features were also constructed to reflect the ‘North Shore’ MTB heritage.
