About the trail

Bootleg is a quick connecting trail in Centennial Reserve. It turns Juvenile Delinquent into a loop track, making it easier for kids and beginner riders. 

It can also be used to turn the Con Air jump track, into a loop. 

A forest path disappears around a corner, surrounded by native trees.

Getting there

The main way to access Bootleg is from the Centennial Reserve entrance on Main Road, near the Watertower car park. You can also ride to Bootleg from Juvenile Delinquent or other trails in the reserve via Nevay Link.
