About this route
Ketam is the reward for hauling a mountain bike onto a bumboat. Built around the dramatic Ketam Quarry on Ubin’s western end, the park’s graded loops range from flowing blue-square sections to black-diamond lines with rock features that would not embarrass a much bigger country.
Because it takes effort to reach, the trails stay quiet even on weekends. You will often have whole sections to yourself, with quarry-lake views between the trees. This is proper mountain biking: bring a capable bike, spares and plenty of water, because the nearest shop is a boat ride away.

Open Route in Google Maps needs nothing extra. It opens the Maps app (or website) with the whole route already plotted as pins, ready to cycle. The GPX download is useful if you navigate with an app like Komoot or Strava, or a Garmin/Wahoo bike computer. On longer routes Google may smooth a corner or two, since it draws its own path between the pins; the map below shows our fuller route line.
