Most visitors to Lysterfield Park will drive in past Montagues Orchard via Horswood Road. After you enter the park gates you'll find a large car park on the right where most mountain bikers will park. It can get pretty packed though and there is plenty more parking if you follow the road to the left and toward the dam wall. A Lysterfield Lake is a popular tourist destination so there's no shortage of BBQs, toilets and shelter.
A smaller yet equally popular car park can be found near the top of the park. The Hallam North car park can get pretty busy though but is a great way to access Lysterfields most popular gravity trails. Riders tend to use the toilet block to top up their water bottles mid-ride when starting from the Horswood car park.
No formal commercial shuttles operate at Lysterfield MTB Park and no practical option to self-shuttle.
