Bike N Hike – Watagans National Park

Fresh air and awesome views on this adventure at the northern end of Watagans National Park

This event with cover about 12km on mountain bike and 2-3km of hiking. Your guide will provide all cycling gear and instruction across the day to help you feel confident and supported. We do not provide e-bikes but the cycling is on flat on undulating dirt road with very little road traffic.

Our journey takes us to an area that provides outstanding views over the Hunter Valley and as far north as the Barrington Tops. We will take regular stops along the way as we travel west by bike then hike to a viewpoint overlooking the Congewai Valley. This is a great spot to enjoy some morning tea., before we reverse our route to find a clifftop lunchsite(Participants will need to supply their own lunch) On our return trip, we will include a break at a dramatic location known ‘Black Stump’. Here we will hike along the base of the cliffs for 500m and hopefully sight some of the local rock wallabies before a final ride back to the start.
