Bom Bom

Bom Bom State Forest MTB Trails – Grafton Bom Bom State Forest is home to a fantastic mountain bike trail network just 5km south of Grafton on the NSW North Coast, offering purpose-built singletrack for everyone from newer riders through to experienced mountain bikers. The Bom Bom MTB Trails feature a network of flowing cross-country singletrack winding through ironbark and spotted gum forest. The generally gentle terrain and lack of large rocky sections make Bom Bom particularly approachable, with plenty of trails where beginners can build confidence while faster riders can find a completely different challenge by pushing the pace. Expect tight and twisting singletrack, small gullies, hardpack and the area's distinctive pea-gravel surface, which can make the corners surprisingly entertaining. While much of the network is relatively low to moderate in technical difficulty, trails such as Uncle Teddy's Wonderland and Harlowe's Howler provide more challenging options as riders progress. The trails are closely connected with Grafton Cycle Club and Bom Bom Mountain Biking, with local riders and volunteers helping maintain and develop the network. The club also runs regular MTB racing, adding a great community element to the riding scene around Grafton. For riders searching for mountain biking in Grafton, MTB trails on the NSW North Coast or beginner-friendly mountain bike trails in NSW, Bom Bom is a great network to put on the list. And with Grafton as a base, there's plenty more cycling and outdoor adventure to discover throughout the wider Clarence Valley, making Bom Bom an easy addition to a North Coast riding road trip. RTS Tip: Bom Bom's soils don't cope particularly well with wet weather, so give the trails time to dry after significant rain and check current trail conditions before heading out. Forestry operations can also affect access from time to time, so respect any temporary closures and signage.
