Bicycle NSW has mapped over 300 rides across the state and 10 of the top ones are below! If you're after more rides, don't forget to check out our full NSW Rides Route Map .

Tumbarumba to Rosewood  Rail Trail

Photo Credit: Snowy Valleys Council

In case you missed the news, NSW opened a new Rail Trail in April ! Unfortunately, this also coincided with the start of COVID-19 restrictions and many people have yet to experience its scenic beauty and history. 

Built through the abandoned rail corridor, the 21km rail trail offers scenic views over gentle gradients and sweeping curves between the towns of Tumbarumba and Rosewood. It’s the perfect off road experience for families, novice riders or those who prefer their rides traffic free.  

You can even enjoy some local history through the historical display of the two heritage listed buildings, the Wolter Cottages, at the Tumbarumba trail head.

With plenty of shops and experiences to discover in the local area, you should plan a (long) weekend trip for this one.  

Narooma’s Wagonga Inlet Loop

It might be a little cold for a dip in the water this time of year, but the scenery along this route is simply amazing.  Ride through beautiful forest, alongside coastal wetlands and enjoy an amazing stretch of coastline through the Narooma area. 

The ride is undulating and is for fit riders, but is one of the best the coast has to offer. With so much to do by bike through this area, don’t miss a weekend getaway here. 

Distance: 39km Total elevation: 643m Elevation profile: Hilly Surface: Sealed and unsealed Traffic: Medium – on main roads and dirt roads Difficulty: Hard

Newcastle Cycleway Discovery

You can make this a day trip from Sydney or make it a longer trip and enjoy the sites of Newcastle and Lake Macquarie . 

Distance : 58km Total elevation: 598m Elevation profile: Undulating Surface: Sealed Traffic: Medium to heavy – on shared pathways, residential streets & main roads Difficulty: Moderate

As a major regional centre in NSW there is always something to do in Dubbo.

10 of our favourite places to ride around New South Wales

Mountain biking around NSW, there is a huge variety of terrain, riding styles and trail networks. Sifting through the pile and figuring out where to go is a tough job, especially when trail gradings aren’t always apples to apples between locations. So we’ve put together a trusty guide on some of the best mountain bike trails in New South Wales’ and what you can expect. 

Before we dive in, there are A LOT of unsanctioned trails in NSW, especially around some of the major population centres. While they’re not exactly secret, we also can’t openly promote them here because it could add slippery roots, loose rocks and increase the gradient on the hill trail advocates in the state are trying to climb. So if there is a well known riding spot that hasn’t made the list, that’s probably why.

If you’re planning a riding trip, make sure you check out our Destination Hub to find even more information on all these riding spots and more. 

Best Mountain Bike Trails in NSW

Thredbo | lift access alpine shredding.

What better place to start than Thredbo, a gravity-focused destination with a 30-year history in the New South Wales mountain bike scene. Although there aren’t a huge number of trails on offer, having lift access to a bike park with 600m of vertical descent makes for some very long, fun laps — on laps, on laps.

There are close to 30km of descending trails within the bike park, all serviced by a lift and a gondola. When you reach the top, you’re presented with a selection of descents, primarily blue trails and one black trail, Cannonball.

Descending 557m from the top of the resort , Cannonball is one of the country’s oldest and most infamous downhill trails. The long descent is a test of endurance, and you’ll find a mixture of off-camber roots, rocks, drops, and a wall ride on your way down. This is a challenging downhill trail, so be sure to bring a dual-suspension bike at a minimum for this one.

If downhill and gravity riding aren’t your cup o’ tea, the Thredbo Valley Track offers a 25km adventure from the resort all the way dow n Gaden Trout Hatchery near town, and another 9km on the Hatcher Bay trail back to Jindy . It’s an approachable adventure for riders of all levels, but come prepared with enough food, water and spares. 

There is plenty of accommodation and services both at the resort, and at the bottom of the valley in Jindabyne, but you’ll be paying a premium to stay slopeside.  

For a complete run down, head over to the Thredbo destination page for more information on trails, maps and gradings.

Awaba | A place to Monkey around

What better place to check out next than the training ground of the legendary Jack Moir. Awaba is home to a solid variety of technical rocky trails, with a chunky downhill track known as Monkey, three blue-graded gravity trails and multiple cross country loops to keep everyone happy.

If you’re keen to launch right into the deep end with steep, challenging chutes and brutal rock gardens, head for Monkey. This isn’t for the faint of heart with a double black rating that well earned. If you’d prefer to ease your way in, the three blue-graded gravity trails offer a tamer introduction to the terrain at Awaba.

Shuttles can be run up Mount Faulk Road, however after the extraordinarily wet year brought by La Niña, it’s currently closed to the public above the entrance to Faulk Line due to a significant landslip, and will be for some time.

For the more cross-country inclined, there’s 12km of well-established singletrack to check out. These trails won’t disappoint and have a long history in the NSW mountain bike scene, having played host to a Smörgåsbord events since the early 2000s, including the Port to Port. Be sure to pack all your essential supplies and refreshments, as there’s not much at the trailhead besides a toilet at the Jenkins Road Carpark.

Keen to give Awaba a go? Check out the Awaba destination page here for more information.

Manly Dam | Family-friendly riding on the Northern Beaches

If you’re just getting into mountain biking and looking for a beginner-friendly spot to familiarise yourself with the sport, there are few better places than Manly Dam. For many Sydney-siders, it’s a relatively short drive and offers one of the few sanctioned riding spots in Sydney.

The official loop is just short of 10km and features of mix of green and blue terrain, with a couple of bigger sandstone rock features for the brave. A little ways off the main loop towards Bantry Bay, there are the black-rated Serrata and Gahnia trails. These descents are rough rocky, and technical. There are also quite a few well-known offshoots around Manly Dam and into Bantry Bay, that are well-trafficked and anything but secret. But these aren’t sanctioned trails, and so that’s all we’ll say about them here.

There are multiple parking spots around the perimeter of the area, with the option of parking at the Seaforth Bowling Club and jumping on Trig Track to access the trails. Alternatively, you can park at the Austrian Club if you’re keen to jump straight into the more technical trails.

Old Man’s Valley | Quarry riding in Sydney’s North

Onto another great local Sydney spot, Old Man’s Valley in Hornsby. Located in an old quarry, there are trails across a range of difficulties, and it’s a great place to build riding skills and confidence. There are also multiple dirt jump lines mid-way down the valley if you fancy honing your airborne prowess.

Unlike a lot of other Sydney riding spots, Old Man’s Valley has a great selection of flowy, fun singletrack, without the rocks that can often be intimidating for beginners. As you progress further down the valley, you’re greeted with fast-rolling clay linking up flowing berms.

If the selection of blue and green trails leaves you wanting something a bit more challenging, Hornsby does have a limited selection of black trails. These only make up around 500m of singletrack that loops above the parking area, offering more challenging features rock crawling through massive boulders.

Old Man’s Valley isn’t too far from the local shops if you need any food or supplies, and parking is located on Quarry Road. If you’re local to the area and looking to get into mountain biking, we’d strongly recommend checking out Old Man’s Valley.

Glenrock | Coastal trails a stone’s throw from Newcastle

Now we’re headed North to the sunny seaside city of Newcastle, home to the Glenrock trails found only a stone’s throw from the CBD. Glenrock provides lush greenery and caters to a wide range of skill sets. The trails are predominantly cross-country focused, and with its proximity to the city, Glenrock is a very popular destination for many families. 

With just over 100m of vertical descent, don’t expect anything too technical or challenging. There’s around 30km of singletrack on offer that capitalises on the contours, using fast-flowing turns and less technical climbs to maximise the fun.

Based in a coastal rainforest, Glenrock’s trails and their surroundings make for a beautiful spectacle. We’re big fans of Glenrock for its views and its family-friendly nature.

For a complete rundown on mountain biking at Glenrock, head over to our Destination Hub.

Woolgoolga | Small but mighty on the North Coast

A bit further north, situated in Wedding Bells State Forest, the small coastal town of Woolgoogla has a gravity network that’s making waves. While the total singletrack just pipes into the double digits, folks are driving in from as far as Armidale to ride here every weekend. They’re even hosting a Fox Superflow this year, and a new mountain bike festival in September.

Spawned from wild trails built by local riders, tireless work from the club, and support from the local community saw the network sanctioned, and grants won to fund new trails.

Using an arterial climbing trail, there are descents ranging from green to black, and the network sees big berms, gaps and even a few wooden features.

Located about 20km from Coffs Harbour, there is an airport right there. Woolgoolga is an idyllic little beach town, so bring the bikes, the boards and the beach umbrella.

Narooma | Crocodile Dundee’s favourite trails

Alright, pack your bags we’re going South, to Narooma! Almost 350km south of Sydney, Narooma is definitely better suited to a long weekend adventure if you’re coming from the big smoke. Beyond the trails, Narooma is a popular holiday destination with beautiful beaches and plenty of activities outside of riding for you and your crew.

With the town situated between the ocean and mountains, there’s plenty of time in the day to squeeze in a ride followed by a surf. The trails themselves are west of the highway off of Kianga Forrest Road located north of Narooma. From there, you’ll follow signs towards the “Rainforest Walk”. The parking for the mountain bike trails is located about 100m past the parking for the Rainforest Walk.

The selection hits beginner to intermediate cross-country trails, taking in the beautiful bushland and scenery. There’s plenty of options for all skill levels, although it’s worth noting there’s no water or toilet at the trailhead, so come prepared.

The network has just undergone a massive expansion with 65km of new trails on the agenda, thanks to the hard work of the Narooma MTB Club and Dirt Art, more than doubling the total singletrack.

Tathra | Sensational seaside singletrack secret

While we’re down south you’d better believe we’re going to be making a stop at Tathra. About a 6-hour drive from Sydney, the small beachside town of Tathra is home to some very special trails.

There’s around 50km of singletrack currently on offer between Bundadung and Fire Shed trails, built by a small committed group of locals over the past 20 years. There are two parking spots to access the trails from, one of these (labelled the Poo Ponds Mountain Bike Trailhead on Google Maps) is just off Tathra Bermagui road. The other parking spot is near the corner of Bega Street and Killarney Road on the south side of town.

When you reach the trails, you’ll have predominantly green and blues to choose from, with a handful of black and double-black runs if you’re on the lookout for something more challenging. There are around 120m of vertical to be climbed or descended, with the local trail builders making the most of the vertical meters using the contours of the valleys. If you’re planning a trip to Tathra, a little bit raw and rough is what it’s all about, don’t expect perfectly groomed machine-built flow trails.

It’s hard to go wrong with 50km of trails and beautiful beaches within riding distance, Tathra is definitely a spot worth checking out.

Mogo | More than just a dam loop

Keeping to the South Coast, Mogo has long had an existing network of trails around Deep Creek Dam and played host to a number of 12-hour races. Mostly blue-rated loops there are a little over ~30km of existing trails.

The network is only a stones throw from Batemans Bay and a 3km pedal from Surf Beach, it’s a destination to bring your bike, and beach regalia. Mogo itself is a quirky little village, and you’d be silly not to load up on ‘ride food’ at the Lots of Lollies sweets shop, and there’s even a wildlife park where you can feed big cats, meet a rhinos or play with meerkats.

But set against what is already a tourist hotspot, the small network at Deep Creek Dam is only the start. The existing network is getting a nip and tuck and Rocky Trail Destination and Next Level MTB are building an additional ~120km of trail, including a 16km wilderness ride from the summit of Mount Wandera. You can read more about what’s planned here.

Bare Creek Bike Park | Sydney’s second airport

Jumps, jumps and more jumps. That’s what you’ll find at Bare Creek Bike Park, formerly a rubbish tip that has undergone a massive transformation. The makeover took place during 2020 and has resulted in a mountain biker’s paradise of jumps, skills areas, a bitumen pump track and more.

Bare Creek Bike Park is located in Belrose, in Sydney’s Northern Beaches. When you pull into the carpark, you’ll often find it packed with a wide variety of riders, generally all buzzing with excitement. 

The Bare Creek trails have been a breeding ground for young talented riders to advance their jump skills, so don’t be surprised to see young kids putting a lot of the adult riders to shame. That being said, there’s no pressure to push yourself at the jumps and it’s great to see such a supportive environment being formed among all the riders.

Everything is designed with progression in mind and laid out so that you won’t need to hammer on the pedals to clear the pro line jumps or grab a handful of brakes in the transition.

Due to the nature of maintaining dirt jumps, the volunteer build crew has created an Instagram account to keep you informed on what jumps are open throughout the year. You can check that out here .

So, where to first?

That’s always the tough question, hopefully, we’ve been able to provide some insight into what you’ll expect at a few of the popular trail locations around New South Wales. If you’re looking for more information to plan your next riding adventure, check out the Destination Hub .

Barrington Tops Trail Bike Adventures

Barrington Tops offers some of Australia’s best trail riding. To unlock and discover the secrets of this region, Transmoto’s Phil Osborn and Ben Bunda joined Barrington Tops Trail Bike Adventures, run by Glen Charlton.

Nothing beats packing up your van or ute and heading off for a weekend trail ride with your mates. To venture to a new location, guided by a local who knows the place inside out, guarantees you the best experience.

If you love flowing single track, challenging hill climbs with equally challenging descents, this ride is a must. At Barrington Tops, the terrain is as diverse as you could ever expect in Australia. The ride goes through lush rain forest, crosses multiple creeks and the terrain is never dull. Being fully guided means if you ever get into a difficult situation or need help, you have great sweep riders to assist.

You know you’re in for a good time when you arrive at a property and everyone is smiling and excited to be hitting the trails together. I travelled to Barrington Tops with Ben Bunda. As we both have young families, getting leave passes to ride is never taken for granted. We joined Chris Watson and his motorcycle shop’s annual ride. Chris Watson is still super fast and loves to ride. His loyal customers are equally passionate dirt bike riders. It was a great group of guys.

The hospitality of Glen and his wife, Alyson, is country hospitality at its best. They have built a five-star dirt bike tour operation. Their accommodation and meals are simply 10/10. You will never go hungry on this tour and kicking back at the end of the day around a fire is epic.

Barrington Top Trail Bike Adventures is located 18 kilometres from Dungog, NSW, at 210 Wangat Trig Rd, Bandongrove.

1 Day Tour:

$150 per person, lunch and one day of hard riding (approximately 120 kilometres) included. Minimum of 16 people required. With accommodation, $250 per person.

2 Day Tour:

$400 per person, two days of riding (approximately 250 kilometres), two night accommodation, two breakfasts, two lunches and one baked dinner feast included. Minimum of 16 people required

Rail Trail Cycle Trips

New South Wales

South australia, western australia, advanced search.

Rail Trail cycling trips provide a safe cycling experience along dedicated cycling paths. They are an extremely popular option for people looking to enjoy their first cycling trip as well as families thanks to being vehicle-free.

Upcycled from abandoned railway corridors, most Rail Trails have a gravel or dirt surface, and many are shared use with cyclists and horse riders as well.

Given they were once made for trains, they offer more gentle gradients and snake through spectacular countryside linking small country towns with larger regional areas. They cut through hills, under roads and cross gullies and creeks that otherwise would not be visited by most travellers.

Soaked with history, passing many old stations, cuttings and bridges that were originally made for the trains, Rail Trails have become popular with cyclists around the world. They have revitalised small towns who now welcome Rail Trail cyclists with warm hospitality at charming family owned accommodations, wineries, restaurants and galleries.

Along the way you can stop off at the villages of Crabbes Creek, Mooball, Burringbar and Stokers Siding to end up at the old station in Murwillumbah for lunch.

Orange and Villages Bicycle Trail

Home  -  Things to do  -  Orange and Villages Bicycle Trail

The six-stage cycling journey is designed to showcase the Central West to experienced riders. The Trail takes riders through the picturesque rural districts of the Central Tablelands and Slopes, starting and ending at Orange.

“ The Orange Treadlies bicycle riding group instigated and contributed to the development of the OVBT bicycle route.” Orange360 is delighted with the result and the trail.

Disclaimer: This trail has been developed by local cycling enthusiasts, The Treadlies to showcase some of our region’s most picturesque rides. While every care is taken to ensure the accuracy of this information, Orange360 does not make any representation or warranties about its accuracy, reliability or completeness. Riders embark on their adventure at their own risk and visiting cyclists should take all reasonable steps to review road, weather and seasonal farming conditions before they embark on their ride.

There are 6 sections around the 360km course, with 3 alternate routes also provided.  Select the course below to read about each section of the Trail.

Roads and Terrain

With an emphasis on safety, the route minimises time on busy main roads and utilises secondary rural bitumen and gravel roads. One loop leads to a bush track that is better suited to hybrid or gravel bikes and mountain bikes.

Bitumen roads vary in width and surface. The narrower roads are low traffic density secondary rural roads.

Route Itinerary

The Central West has become a tourist destination for a range of visitors.

The Trail aims at combining bicycle touring at various levels of fitness and competence, with visiting rural communities, enjoying food and wine and seeing the agricultural and environmental delights of our district. The Trail will provide cyclists the enjoyment of the physical ride as well as an appreciation of the life-style benefits offered by rural communities.

The Trail is ideal for small riding groups with back-up vehicles. Accommodation is at a different location each night. Riders will organise their own schedule and booking arrangements for each location.

Riding groups can vary the itinerary if they wish to lengthen or shorten the journey.

Bike riders are encouraged to visit points of interest along the Trail and meet with locals and other visitors. Some suggestions are outlined on the following pages, while location web pages will have further options of things to do in free time.

Course Difficulty

The Central Tablelands and Slopes has an average annual rainfall varying from 600mm. to 800mm. Rainfall will be higher than this in wet years. Groups need to assess rain forecasts before settling on dates.

The region has cool Springs, warm Summers and generally dry, warm Autumns. Winters are generally wet and cold

The suggested periods to pedal are September through to May.

Accommodation

Accommodation standards will vary, ranging from hotels, motels, guest houses and BNB establishments. When riding dates are set accommodation can be selected and booked. Cowra is well serviced with a large selection of places to stay. Most villages will have numerous accommodation options and we encourage you to search the Village content of this website to find the full range of options.

There is only one accommodation choice at the Neville village. You are advised to schedule Neville for a mid-week day if possible. Similarly with Cargo, so please consider the option of Canowindra.

If dinner is required check this with the chosen accommodation site.

We had a blast on the Lee Tour e-bikes! Jim was great to work with and the location is a good spot. So glad we found this shop!

What a great place to start a bike ride. We did a 20 mile loop in just over 2 hours. The owner was so considerate and knowledgeable offering to rescue us if we got stranded for any reason. But with great bikes and google bike maps we had a great afternoon. He even gave us a lock and saddle bags to ensure success.

Great place to rent bikes in the twin cities, Jim is knowledgeable and informative, he has some really nice e-bikes that are assist and throttle capable. Friends came to town and we needed a few extra bikes for a tour of St Paul, the rivers trails, and landmarks! Lee bikes didn't disappoint spent 6hrs enjoying the cities from a great mode of transportation!

Jim was great! My husband and I were in the Twin Cities visiting family and friends. We decided to try electric bikes at Lee Tours in Mendota Heights. If you are from out of town or a local, it's a prime location. Great trails to Minneapolis or St. Paul.
