Experience Kindra Forest on Bike

The Kindra State Forest offers bike and walking tracks that wind through the forest. Located minutes from Coolamon’s main street. The trails include 10km of track.

@specialised_jo and @singletrack_matt recently hit the tracks in Coolamon.

When we asked Josef (@specialised_jo) about the tracks, he said “They appeal to anyone and everyone, starting from beginners to the experienced rider, the forest is a beautiful back drop for a spin in the woods, with a mixture of pine and Aussie bushland.

With the ability to make any loop, it caters for anyone, and you can see it all in sections”.

You can choose from 3 loop trails. The shortest is just 1.65km, or try a longer 5km or the complete course of 10km 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.
