Yack Tracks MTB Trailhead, the local cycling club in Stanley, is thrilled to promote an exciting upcoming event in the region. Get ready to pedal your way to Allans Flat Reserve, a fantastic local activity located just a short eight-kilometer ride from Yackandandah, heading northeast on the Yackandandah-Wodonga Road.
One of the highlights of this reserve is its stunning lake, which originated during the gold rush era through dredge mining. Nowadays, this tranquil spot has become a favourite swimming hole for the locals. So, don't forget to pack your towel, sunscreen, and shades to enjoy a refreshing dip in the cool waters during warm summer days and evenings. Plus, it's the perfect excuse to bring along a scrumptious picnic to savor amidst the beautiful surroundings.
If you fancy casting a line and trying your luck at fishing, you'll be pleased to know that Allans Flat Reserve is also managed as a Family Fishing Lake. The authorities make sure to stock it twice a year with rainbow trout and once annually with golden perch. Keep in mind that unless you're under 18 years old or over 70 years old, you'll need a Recreational Fishing Licence, so make sure to get one in advance. For further details on where to purchase licenses and fishing supplies, the Yackandandah Visitor Information Centre is your go-to resource.
Now, before you set off on your cycling adventure, it's important to note that the entrance to Allans Flat Reserve can be a bit tricky to find. The access road is not paved, so keep a keen eye out for the turn-off. We wouldn't want you to miss out on this incredible experience!
Get ready to discover the natural beauty of Allans Flat Reserve and make unforgettable memories as you explore the picturesque surroundings. This cycling event organised by Yack Tracks MTB Trailhead is a must-attend for all cycling enthusiasts and outdoor lovers. Save the date, gather your friends, and embark on an exhilarating journey through the stunning landscapes of Stanley's cycling paradise.
