Glenreagh Mountain Bike Park

Carved into the lush hills of the Orara Valley, Glenreagh Mountain Bike Park is a world-class trail network that has put the tiny village of Glenreagh firmly on the map for mountain bikers. With over 70 kilometres of purpose-built singletrack flowing through eucalypt forest and across scenic ridgelines, this park offers everything from smooth, flowing loops to technical descents. It’s a must-ride destination for anyone exploring the Coffs Coast hinterland.

Highlights & What to See

• Flow trails for all levels: The park is famous for its graded trails (green to black diamond), with highlights like the swooping Mountain Goat and the fast, berm-filled G-Force – perfect for beginners and experts alike.
• Stunning ridgeline views: Stop at the Eagles Nest lookout for panoramic views over the Orara Valley and distant national parks – a great spot for photos and a breather.
• Glenreagh village charm: After your ride, wander into the historic Glenreagh pub or the local café for a cold drink and a yarn with friendly locals.
• Wildlife encounters: Keep an eye out for wallabies, lyrebirds, and even the occasional koala in the forest – the park is part of a rich wildlife corridor.
• Events and community vibe: The park hosts regular race events and social rides, making it easy to connect with the passionate riding community.

Suggested Time to Spend

Most riders find half a day (3–4 hours) ideal to tackle a selection of the best loops, including a stop at the lookout. If you’re keen to ride every trail, allow a full day – pack a picnic and take your time. The park is a perfect morning or afternoon excursion from Coffs Harbour or Port Macquarie, leaving time for other adventures.
