Bundanoon cycling route

Bundanoon cycling route, located within Morton National Park in South Coast, Country NSW, offers an easy and enjoyable 14 km bike ride suitable for the whole family. The route features various picnic areas and lookouts where visitors can take in the stunning views.

The trail takes riders through the open forest, adorned with banksias and flowering shrubs, before reaching the escarpment formed by Bundanoon Creek. To fully appreciate the panoramic vistas of Morton National Park, cyclists will need to dismount their bikes and walk along short paths leading to Tooths, Sunrise Point, and Grand Canyon lookouts. The effort is well worth it, as these lookout points provide breathtaking views of the park.

Visitors are encouraged to bring drinking water, as well as a hat and sunscreen for sun protection. It is important for drivers to be cautious of cyclists and pedestrians, while riders must give way to walkers. Prior to embarking on the cycling adventure, it is recommended to check the weather and road conditions, as the trail may be affected by poor weather or become boggy and potholed after rainfall.

When starting from Bundanoon, it is advisable to avoid the steep route down Constitution Hill, especially if accompanied by children. Instead, cyclists can turn right down Gullies Road after passing the church. Although it may involve walking back up the dirt road on the return trip, this alternative route offers a scenic and shaded journey.
