Experience the world heritage Kanangra Boyd National Park, Jenolan Caves and some of the most spectacular cycling country Australia has to offer.

Sweeping hill tracks, meandering paths through native and pine forest, quiet country roads and more challenging routes encompass the area. The wide variety of tracks and trails is nearly 1,200 metres above sea level and, combined with fresh country air, Oberon has what you're looking for.

Oberon and the surrounding villages offer a great range of accommodation, dining and other recreational activities and facilities to meet your cycling needs.

You don't have to be a champion cyclist: you just need to ride a bike, have some fun and - enjoy the great outdoors!

Oberon to Hazelgrove Rail Trail

This trail, a walking/cycling trail alongside a heritage rail line under restoration, currently meanders through the undulating farmlands of the Oberon tableland between Oberon Station (now a museum) and the former station of Hazelgrove.

This 5km section is part of a 24km branch line that climbs up from the main western railway at Tarana to Oberon, 1100m above sea level. It was opened in 1923 and ceased operation in 1979. Due to the steep grades and numerous curves it was reportedly infamous for being the slowest railway line in NSW!  Two additional cycle/walkways have recently been completed. The Northern Loop links the Oberon to Hazelgrove Rail Trail to Black Bullock Road, through Blenheim State Forest and down Albion Street to complete the 17.92km circuit. The Southern Loop also begins at the Museum, travels south along North street, passes the Lake Oberon, and completes the circuit via Dudley/Tarana Road and Albion Streets with a total distance of 9.3km's. Detailed maps are available for sale at the Visitor Centre.
