Bike and Walking Trails

Spend the day walking or riding your bike on the trails. There are tracks to suit all ages and levels. A great way to explore Coolamon Shire.

Kindra Forest Trail

This popular singletrack trail is perfect for all riders. Located in Coolamon’s Kindra State Forest which is minutes from Coolamon’s main street. Includes 10km of trails that wind through Kindra forest. Accessed via Lewis Street North and parking is available (additional parking is available at the Coolamon Sport and Recreation Club with a short walk/ride to the entrance)

You can choose from 3 loop trails. The shortest is just 1.65km, or try a longer 5.07km or the complete course of 9.95km loop. The 10km trail is made up of three consecutive segments. The first of these is Twister, a 5km segment that lives up to its name and includes some optional fun sections of jumps and berms. Following Twister, just 200m along the firetrail is the easiest segment called The Flats. A 3km meandering trail through open forest on flat ground, perfect for a relaxing cruise through the forest. Next is The Bumps. It is the shortest at just 1.65km, but it is a challenging uphill climb for beginners. It can be avoided by choosing the easier ride up the firetrail back to the start.

Breezing along you’ll immerse yourself in forest sights and sounds of trees and a variety of birds. If you hear rustling look out for kangaroos and goannas that also call this area home.
