Bicycling, Bushwalking, and Horse Riding
Guided town walks, bushwalking* tours and cycling tours take advantage of the plentiful municipal parks, bikeways and World Heritage listed National Parks and reserves of the region.
The Northern Rivers Rail Trail from Murwillumbah to Crabbes Creek, is a popular attraction, with a number of bike hire providers offering their services. The Casino to Bentley section also providing a dedicated bridle path along side the rail trail. Horse riding may also be available at riding centres and equestrian centres.
For birdwatchers, the walking tours will often provide a great introduction to our habitats and common species. This bioregion is known for the McPherson-Macleay overlap, which means that for birds, flora and fauna, it's the southern limit for northern species and northern limit for southern species, making it one of the most biodiverse in Australia.
Gold Coast and Tweed Shire Councils have brochures showing suburban walking and bicycle ways, available at Visitor Information Centres, and Ballina Council has a number of cycleways throughout the shire. Local special interest clubs may also welcome visitors on outings. Bushwalking clubs often have biking, kayaking and paddling outings as well.
* That's tramping to our Kiwi cousins, rambling to our friends from Old Blighty and hiking or trekking to everyone else!
