Cascade Mountain Bike Trail

Enjoy a scenic cycling route through the Cascade mountain bike trail located in Cascade National Park, just an hour's drive from Coffs Harbour. With its lush rainforest and patches of eucalyptus trees, this trail offers a diverse and beautiful landscape for cycling enthusiasts to explore.

Covering a distance of 5.5 km one-way, the Cascade mountain bike trail is graded as easy, making it suitable for riders of all skill levels. It typically takes around 30 minutes to complete the trail, providing an enjoyable cycling experience without being too physically demanding.

It's important to note that while the trail is open all the time, it may occasionally have to close temporarily due to poor weather conditions or fire danger. So be sure to check the current status before planning your ride.

The trail begins at the charming little hamlet of Briggsvale and follows an undulating gravel path that takes riders deep into the heart of Cascade National Park. Along the way, cyclists can take in the breathtaking scenery of the rainforest and also catch glimpses of the majestic lyrebirds if they happen to be lucky. However, remember to be quiet and respectful as these beautiful birds are quite shy.

For reptile enthusiasts, keep an eye out for carpet pythons basking in the sun along the sun-lit paths. It's always a unique and exciting experience to witness these fascinating creatures in their natural habitat.

As the region is located at a higher elevation, it is advisable to dress in layers during the winter months, as it can get quite cool. This ensures that you stay comfortable throughout your cycling adventure.
