As NSW's largest inland city, Wagga Wagga has heaps of things to explore by bike! From a ride around Lake Albert to exploring the banks of the Murrumbidgee River or the local art gallery and prestigious Margaret Carnegie Print Collection, there is lots of to do in Wagga Wagga.

Wagga Wagga is known as the "City of Good Sports" due to the high number of elite sportspeople who have originated in the area, such as Mark Taylor, Sally Shipard, Cameron Mooney and Greg Hawick. Don't forget to visit the local Sporting Hall of Fame, located near the Botanical Gardens.

Over summer, we’re encouraging everyone to enjoy regional NSW on their bikes to support communities through this tough drought. #RideTheBush

Rides To Do


Lake Albert - 14km, Road, flat

This is a family friendly, practically flat ride around beautiful Lake Albert and the surrounding area. Most of the ride follows safe cycle/shared paths.

Pomingalarna Park - 18km, Dirt, Undulating

Pomingalarna Park is located on Narrandera Road, Wagga Wagga on the western side of the Wagga City Golf Course. This is a beautiful mountain bike park which is also popular with runners (beware!). There are several different single tracks as well as wide fire trails looping around the park. The view from the top of the park, across the country side, is spectacular!

Around Wagga Wagga - 48km, Dirt, Undulating

This is a fantastic ride to get a good impression of Wagga Wagga and its various attractions.  Most of the ride is along the Wiradjuri Track. While a road bike is not really suitable for this ride, you do not necessarily need a mountain bike. A gravel, hybrid or cyclocross bike should be fine. 

Highlights along this ride: Pomingalarna Reserve, the Murrumbidgee River, Marrambidya Wetland (for a short walk) and Wagga Wagga Beach (yes beach!).

Malabo Hill - 35km, Road, Undulating

An on-road ride with a couple of hills. From Wagga Wagga Beach you will ride out to Malabo Hill. Once you've hit the top you will turn back to the start.
