Coffs Creek is an oasis in the middle of Coffs Harbour and offers riders and walkers an easy escape from the city. The trail is a mix of road, bike path, dirt and boardwalks across sensitive wetland environments.

The mangroves and birdlife are a highlight of this ride and the sense of remoteness is remarkable considering you are in a city.

If you continue to the coast, the sweeping vistas will convince you that this is one of the most beautiful regional centres in Australia.

The whole trail takes about two hours but it can be broken down into smaller loops for less experienced riders or for young families.

If you are taking your four-legged friend with you, be sure to keep them on leash as the trail navigates through a variety of landscapes including wetlands with abundant wildlife, beaches, reserves and residential areas.
