Walk through pine forest was nice until the path I planned to follow went through a clear cut area. Fairy park inside the greater forest had little hand made houses.

Almost an hour to the beach from the entrance, nice & flat foot path, iād highly recommend this place if you enjoy taking a stroll while listening to your fav album. Remember to take a photo of the map before going in as the park itself is MASSIVE

Went for a long run today and at first I was really impressed by the blue trail markers, but then they just stop being present and then you have to guess how to get to the southern pegasus bay track. Thankfully made it back right before pitch black but a little more signage would've been helpful. Not sure if I'll be back for a long run here.

It was awesome here. Unfortunately the working forest has been felled so much over the past 18 months its taken huge amounts of great woodland away. Keep getting told its only 15 years until this recovers.....

Absolutely love this place. I know it like that back of my hand, however some people dont not. There must be more signs put in for those who aren't regulars. Their are ponds mini walks to find along a main trail. Lots of different types of terrain theres flat grass fields, hills, swampy areas, gravel roads, there is something for everyone. So much space that includes bike tracks and jumps, multiple different places to park, and flat accessible areas.I use a wheelchair sometimes i just roll down the truckers road on the side and im always spotted waved too and allowed to pass before they kick off again. Just remember people you're in Bottle Lake Forest not the damn Amazon. If you ever get lost walk towards the beach and you'll pop out on the sand no need to stress it may be a bit of a walk to the next opening and or group of people as Bottle Lake is a fair way left from the peir.

I looove this place, they have amazing bike tracks with some sections getting changed up every now and then when they cut down and replant. Love that it's a working forest. They have a few different trails all beginner level but with a few jumps that you can choose to do if ya feel like.

Lovely place to wander through. Lots of trails. A little easy to get lost, some markers have been snapped off. Take a photo of the map at the info sites along the way. Easy walking and nice sandy ground. Very peaceful.

Great access and parking. The riding trails were in mint condition and would suit all abilities. Sheltered from the wind and rain thanks to the forest itself and was lovely looking at the beach on our rest stop. Easy access to the beech if you want a beach ride or swim mid ride!!
