Eurobodalla Region Visitor Information

Posted in ,

Welcome to Eurobodalla on the NSW South Coast – home to Mogo Trails & the Narooma MTB Park… and Rocky Trail Entertainment!

Eurobodalla – which stretches from South Durras to Tilba Tilba in the south – is a lush playground of ocean, river, forest and farmland. Dive into ocean-washed towns like Batemans Bay, Broulee, Narooma, Moruya and Central Tilba, pick up some of NSW’s best seafood and artisanal produce direct from makers, follow ancient Aboriginal songlines to feel a deep connection to the land or just find a stretch of beach of your very own.

Why Eurobodalla? The South Coast’s Best Kept Secret (for now!)

If you’re looking for an unforgettable riding experience that combines pristine bushland, thrilling descents, and breathtaking coastal views, then the Eurobodalla region on the NSW South Coast is your next must-visit destination. Rocky Trail Entertainment has the inside scoop on why this region is fast becoming a mountain biking mecca – and what’s on off the trails for friends & family too!

Eurobodalla, encompassing gems like Batemans Bay, Mogo, Moruya, and Narooma, has undergone a significant transformation in recent years, building a reputation as a premier mountain biking destination. With substantial investment in trail networks, particularly the new 125km Mogo Trails and the expanded Narooma Trails, riders of all levels are now spoilt for choice.

You’ll find a diverse mix of trails here:

  • Gravity Enduro: Hook into the natural slopes for exhilarating downhill runs with jumps and banked turns.
  • Cross-Country: Explore vast networks of singletrack through stunning forests and along the pretty coastlines.
  • Family-Friendly Trails & Pathways: Amazing progressive mountain bike trails with a brand-new MTB Skills Park at Mogo Trails via the Mogo Town entry and a fun “Playground Zone” just near the car park in Narooma.
  • Fun-fact: Rocky Trail is based in Batemans Bay and we’re gearing up for huge mountain biking and events in the region, especially for the launch of Sea Otter Australia this October – the new Bike Mega Festival!

Trail Highlights: Where to Spin Your Wheels

Sea Otter Australia – The new MTB Mega FESTIVAL

Rocky Trail will launch the biggest MTB Festival brand – Sea Otter – in Australia. Out of the Festival Hub at Hanging Rock with over 150 cycling and outdoor brands exhibiting, we’ll run 8 official races in the Mogo Trails network. Plus a massive line-up of social rides and excursions down to Narooma and up to the new Burnaaga Adventure Trail too.

For three days, riders, visitors and – hopefully lots of locals – can cheer at race starts and prize ceremonies, see the latest tech, bikes, grab a cold one and eat delicious local food, get even the little kids on a bike in the Kids Zone, meet Australian and international pros and grab some good deals too.

Eurobodalla boasts a growing network of trails, with two major hubs leading the charge:

Mogo Trails (Batemans Bay Area)

Set to be a game-changer with over 125km of trails now fully completed, Mogo offers something for everyone. Visit the Mogo Trails website for all the details and trails!

The network stretches through the stunning bushland of Mogo, Batehaven, and out to Mount Wandera. What makes the Mogo Trails truly special is how they cater to everyone. Whether you’re a family looking for a fun outing, whether you want to explore, or if you are up for a challenge, Mogo has you covered. With a huge network of trails, you’ll find everything from flowing berms through beautiful forests to gnarly gravity descents and two massive jump lines. The trails are a fantastic ride for all skill levels. Plus, with easy access from towns like Mogo and Batemans Bay plus the beautiful trailhead at the Botanic Garden, you can easily jump on the trails and create your perfect riding adventure. It’s all about progression – trails to take the kids to and to have a massive day out.

  • What to Expect: A mix of bike park-style gravity trails and extensive cross-country loops plus a “wild” 29km adventure trail from Mt Wandera into Mogo Town – the Burnaaga Trail.
  • Trailheads: Easily accessible from Mogo, Eurobodalla Regional Botanic Gardens, and Batehaven (via Curtis Road).
  • Skill Levels: Trails designed for beginner to advanced riders. Check Trailforks for detailed maps and difficulty ratings – a skills park for every type of shredder just up from the Mogo Town entry!
  • Shuttle Service: Southbound Escapes offers uplift services to the new Burnaaga Wilderness Trail. Information is on the Mogo Trails website

Narooma Trails

A mountain biker’s paradise with stunning coastal views and diverse terrain. Narooma’s network has seen significant expansion, now boasting 85km of trails across three riding zones.

  • What to Expect: Flowing trails through rainforest gullies, burrawang, and spotted gum ridges, catering to all skill levels. Look out for the wilderness zone, skills zone, and gravity zone with insane berms and jumps.
  • Popular Trails: Willy Wossell, Snordle, Shaky Goanna, Tasty Possum, Ratticus Finch, and Kent’s are local favourites.
  • Access Points: Trailheads at Red Knob and Box Cutting are convenient starting points.
  • Shuttle Service: Southbound Escapes offers uplift services for the Gravity Zone, with half-day and full-day options available. Single uplifts can sometimes be arranged on the day.

But wait, there’s more!

Race hard, recover harder – our favourite post-ride hangouts

The Eurobodalla region isn’t just home to world-class singletrack and the upcoming Sea Otter Australia festival, it’s also a goldmine for craft breweries, historic country pubs, and killer coastal cafes. To save you the guesswork, we’ve rounded up a dozen of the absolute best spots from Batemans Bay and Mogo to Narooma to grab a specialty coffee, a massive post-race schnitty, or a well-deserved local craft pint.

Pack your appetite, because here is your official Rocky Trail guide to eating and drinking your way across the South Coast!

Guide: From Dirt to Drinks in the Eurobodalla

Munjip TRAIL Coastal Headlands Walk

Munjip Trail is a new 15km coastal headland walk in Eurobodalla. Munjip means ‘walking together, let’s go’ in the local Dhurga language.

While the trail traverses many stunning beaches and headlands, bushland and rock platforms, it also offers up artwork and stories from the Walbunja People, members of the oldest continuing culture in the world. At 15km long, the Munjip Trail could be walked (or trail run) in half a day, but if you really want to connect with the area, stop for a swim and read all the stories, I recommend taking much longer. – Jon Harris, We are Explorers
