Dam Busters - Decent on Trailforks logo

DAM BUSTERS TAKES ITS NAME FROM THE 1929 DISASTER WHEN THE DAM BURST AFTER HEAVY RAINS, WIPING OUT HALF OF THE TOWNSHIP OF DERBY AND CAUSING MANY DEATHS.

A high elevation trail that offers an exciting journey around the Cascade Dam - the most beautiful lake ride in Australia.

This trail traverses through beech and eucalypt forests, past swimming holes and across bridges, crystal clear creeks and moss covered boulders. Running beside the water’s edge in places, it climbs up to stunning views overlooking the lake. Dambusters finishes with a white knuckle descent back down to Devilwolf - one of the fastest and most thrilling descents of the Derby network.
