"Mountain Bike Trails and the State Mountain Bike Course
Lysterfield Park Mountain Bike Trails and the State Mountain Bike course has 20 kilometres of exciting and environmentally sustainable trails that cater for riders of all ages and ability.
Choose from easy family trails for all to enjoy around the lake and parkland, a range of flowing single trails through established plantations or steep and technical sections of trail through rocky landscapes. All trails are clearly sign posted with directional information and gradings.
Parks Victoria together with the Mountain Bike Association of Australia have carefully designed trail alignments to protect environmental values of the park, whilst providing a high quality Mountain Biking experience. The trail system has been designed for sustainable for long term use. You can help ensure that these trails remain open for use by only riding on formally signed trails and not creating or using informally created trails. (Those not identified on the map).
There are a number of other trails within the park that are for shared use and some trails are for Mountain Bikes only. Please also respect the trails that are designated for walkers and equestrian use only.
Organised groups of twenty or more people require an Event Permit which requires approximately 6 weeks advanced notice. For further information on obtaining an Event Permit please contact the Park Office on 13 1963.
Take the opportunity to explore the Park by starting your ride at the trail head located in the Mahogany Car Park at the Horswood Road entrance to Lysterfield Park . (Melway 108 D1)"

Just this very question was asked recently on the Lysty yahoogroup, and the reply was Belgrave station:
http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Lysterfield-Park-to-Belgrave
... Or Hallam station:
http://tinyurl.com/2jnnkj
Although after the last few weeks, be prepared for mud and please try to stick to the established singletrack to minimise any damage.

Actually mud and wet conditions is where trashing easily replaced and very
durable rotors is preferable to trashing rims. Besides, you can't look
'core with rim brakes!

Your chain, cassette, chainrings, hubs, headset, bottom bracket and suspension fork will hate you if you ride in the mud. Be prepared to be replacing worn out parts all the time if you do a lot of mud riding.ODB said:thanks for that - and damage to me or my fancy looking disc brakes which the

PS: Right now, Lysterfield is muddy. For an idea of just how muddy, have a look at http://yourtrails.net/pics/cts3/image.php (photos from a race on Sunday).
