The Wedding Bells Forest trails are located in the Wedding Bells State Forest north of Woolgoolga. The trails are accessed via Sherwood Creek Road, and the upper trailhead is the 4-Way at the top of Stuarts Road.
The trail network consists of gravity-style trails that are linked together with climbs back up the fire roads. All trails are single-direction and range from natural tech style through to machine-built flow. There are also progressive jump lines and features.
Catering to a large range of ability levels, but are best suited to strong beginner to advanced riders. At the upper and lower trailheads, there are large signboards, and all trails are named and marked.
The trails have become most renowned for their fast-flowing build style and cover an area of 250 hectares. The vertical rise is just under 100 metres, meaning that the climbs are not too arduous, but the descents take advantage of the terrain, offering downhill runs up to three kilometres in length.
If you want to check on trail conditions, follow Woolgoolga MTB club on Facebook and Instagram to stay up to date. There are also group rides, junior development programs and dig days coordinated by the club.
There are no amenities on-site, but the Arrawarra Rest area is only two kilometres away and has amenities, shaded tables, and water.
Seemed that the forest was designated dog friendly but when we arrived at the park entry the sign clearly showed no dogs allowed. It looked like a beautiful forest area despite the motorcross bikes ripping about.
Logging is destroying what remains of amazing coastal Gondwana rainforest remnants here and more over on the mid north coast in areas we now know to be very sensitive and home to biologically/geologically highly important events and habitats that need protection from exploitation..also the nsw government has now closed many state forest areas to prevent unwanted observation of uncouth logging activity and destruction of sensitive micro environments . Keep eyes out for buetifull jasper stones, interesting geological oddities like stoney Hill on stoney hill trail a colorful strange peak of once highly altered partly melted slate. (unstudied impact rebound?), re gold thrown to glen reagh/ulong and created the cliff and fault coast side of glenreagh and uplifted the inland side of wedding bells itself)?? Maybe. But Beware of logging trucks and try to ignore the decimated areas currently logged for the "green" biomass power plant in Newcastle, yep burning trees in power plants now thanks forestry NSW corporation 😕 you may also find the highly endangered wedding bell plant currently under intense medical studies for cancer treatment. This place was also a sacred area for the bungalung peoples and middens, camp remnants and tool stones can be found all over ( please do not disturb). Varied geology along Gentle Annie trail will amaze. This place should not be subjected to frivolous logging destruction. Buet swimming holes (watch for poisonous spined freshwater rockfish) please 🙏 Be safe enjoy the trails and protect YOUR forests.
Fun day riding! Shuttles would be good:)
