THE TRAILS

Location & Build

The Narooma MTB trails are nestled in Bodalla State Forest, just north of Narooma. The main trailhead is at the intersection of Mitchels Ridge Road and the Princes Highway—roughly a 10-minute drive from Narooma town. Trail construction and design were handled largely by Dirt Art, known for premium trail builds across Australia. The result is a polished mix of flow, technical, and jump-focused riding through beautiful coastal bushland.

​

Riding Zones

The network is organized into three to five riding zones, catering to a wide range of riders:

• The Playground (Skills Zone): Perfect for beginners looking to build confidence with flow trails and features

• Northern Zone: A mix of intermediate descents and climbs, accessible by shuttle

• Gravity Zone: Packed with jumps, berms, and gravity-fed descents—great for thrill-seekers and downhill lovers

• Wilderness Zone: Natural, narrow trails with both blue (intermediate) and black (advanced) loops; rides can be tailored to your energy levels

• Trail Riding Zone: Extends the original hand-built network with rugged, quirky features—including jumps and even a burnt-out ute

​
