Explore from Riverdell.
Riverdell sits between the Southern Tablelands and the NSW South Coast: a base for mountain-bike trails, forest roads, long walks, swimming holes, beaches and heritage towns. Check park, forestry, fire and weather alerts before setting out.
Mogo mountain biking
Mogo Trails has 72 purpose-built mountain-bike trails spanning more than 125km in Mogo State Forest, from easy green routes to double-black runs. Experienced riders can tackle the 28km Burnaaga Goanna gravity trail; bike hire, shuttles and live trail maps are available in Mogo.
Forest roads & 4WD
Currowan and other NSW State Forests can be explored by registered 4WDs and trail bikes on formed roads and fire trails. Stay off informal single-track and avoid wet roads. For a bigger dry-weather trip, Bendethera Valley in Deua National Park is 4WD-only via approaches including Minuma Range and Dampier Mountain fire trails; check closures and river crossings first.
Monga National Park
Start at Dasyurus or Mongarlowe River picnic areas for forest picnics, easy riverside walks and birdwatching. The 16km one-way Corn Trail is a steep Grade 4 route for experienced, self-reliant walkers; check current access.
Mount Budawang
Mount Budawang is an 8km return Grade 4 day walk with a steep ascent and broad summit views. Allow 7–8 hours and go well prepared.
Murramarang coast
For a coast day, choose Pebbly Beach or a section of the Murramarang South Coast Walk, with spotted-gum forest, rock platforms and quiet bays. Around Batemans Bay, add swimming, snorkelling, kayaking or fishing.
Nelligen & Clyde River
Launch a kayak, fish or picnic by the Clyde River around Nelligen. For guided paddling and snorkelling, continue to Batemans Bay.
