36km of forest trails, quiet country roads and gentle Rail Trail riding
Ride & Pick Up: $85 per person

Self-Guided Ride LAKES ENTRANCE TO BRUTHEN

After an 8km ride uphill and onto an easy country road, your self-guided forest trail adventure begins on the Gippsland Lakes Discovery Track. This trail follows and criss-crosses Mississippi Creek, winding through lush ferns and pockets of old-growth forest. Pause at The Quarry for a break — the historic mine site where the original rocks were quarried to keep the Entrance of the Gippsland Lakes open.

The track is mostly shaded with compact gravel and only a few short hills in the final kilometres before you reach the Rail Trail. At the Rail Trail, turn left for a relaxed 12km roll into the township of Bruthen, a beautiful village set in a scenic valley and home to the Bruthen Brewery, the Bruthen Bizarre, and the Tambo River. This section is a long, gentle, mainly downhill ride on double track, perfect for riding side by side with friends.

This is one of our most popular rides, especially when paired with a lunch at the Bullant Brewery to finish. The brewery is usually open Wednesday to Sunday for lunch, but it’s best to check their operating hours or availability before booking so you can schedule in some local beers to celebrate your ride.

LAKES ENTRANCE → METUNG

20km on calm roads and waterfront paths.
Ride & Pick Up: $75 per person
Includes 4 hours of self-guided bike hire and shuttle return to Lakes Entrance.

Self-Guided Ride LAKES ENTRANCE TO METUNG

To Ride & Dine, we recommend booking ahead at The Metung Hotel or wood-fire pizzas at The Local to enjoy great food with beautiful views before your shuttle returns you to Lakes Entrance.

If 20km on sealed roads is your style, ride from Lakes Entrance to the beautiful village of Metung. Start by swinging past Kalimna Jetty on your way out of town for some of the best waterfront riding around. From there, follow the shoulder of the Princes Hwy for a few kms before turning left onto Kalimna West Rd, which leads down to historic Nyerimilang, a stunning old property with magnificent clifftop views over the Gippsland Lakes. Selfie break!

Cruise through undulating farmland while pondering your retirement plans. Pause at Nungurner Jetty Rd for an optional 4.5km loop down to the picturesque jetty, passing local art studios and galleries along the way.

Continue along Nungurner Rd, turning left down Rosherville Rd, past Chinamans Creek. Dream of future yachting adventures as you roll past the boats and arrive in Metung in time for a delicious lunch.

Enjoy this peaceful waterfront village before your return shuttle to Lakes Entrance.

LAKES ENTRANCE → LAKE TYERS

15km of hills, beaches and forest; finish at Tyers Beach
Ride & Pick Up: $65 per person
Includes 4 hours of self-guided bike hire and shuttle return to Lakes Entrance.
(Also available as a half-day ride without shuttle for those happy to tackle a couple of extra hills.)

Lakes Entrance to Lake Tyers - Self-Guided Tour

To Ride & Dine, we recommend booking into the Waterwheel Tavern for food with a view.

A “lake to lake” adventure, this spectacular 15km ride has a few steep hills that are absolutely rewarded. Start by cruising along the waterfront path, watching black swans & pelicans on Cunningham Arm. Turn right at the United Service Station and follow a winding trail up to Eastern Beach. Zig-zag your way onto Golf Links Rd which leads to Lake Bunga Track. Look for the small right turn marked Nature Track — a pretty, winding option that leads you directly to Lake Bunga Beach. Take a moment here by the lake & ocean.

Tackle the challenging climb up Lake Bunga Beach Rd. Halfway up, you’re rewarded with an epic ocean view. Continue on an easier uphill & just before the Princes Hwy turn right onto Old Bunga Rd - cruise downhill to the first Oil Bore in Australia.

What goes down must go up! Cross the creek & climb the next hill (final tough one, promise). Dirt road meets bitumen & you’re now at Toorloo Arm. Across the road is a bike path: follow it until you see Cliff Rd on your right, & take it a few hundred metres.

Turn left onto a wide unmarked forest track through coastal bush to Red Bluff Rd. Turn right to reach Red Bluff Lookout, a favourite local surf spot (lock the bikes and walk down for a swim!) You’re officially on Ninety Mile Beach.

Take the track on your right into the trees, riding through a tunnel of bushland with glimpses of ocean & sky through the gaps. Mostly flat & fun, with a touch of boardwalk.

When you pop out at Beacons Hill, it’s a downhill ride on the bike path beside the road to Lake Tyers Beach — and you’ve arrived at another stunning lakeside destination.

LAKES ENTRANCE → NOWA NOWA

40km including the Stony Creek Trestle Bridge and forest sections
Ride & Pick Up: $80 per person
Includes 5 hours of self-guided bike hire and shuttle return to Lakes Entrance.

Lakes Entrance to Nowa Nowa - Self-Guided Tour

To Ride & Dine, we recommend stopping at Mingling Waters Café before your shuttle back to Lakes Entrance.

Follow the same beginning as the Lakes Entrance to Bruthen route, but where the Gippsland Lakes Discovery Trackmeets the East Gippsland Rail Trail, turn right. Enjoy a long gentle downhill that leads you past the impressive Stony Creek Trestle Bridge — the second-largest of its kind in the southern hemisphere.

There’s a short, steep uphill at the bridge, and then just a few kilometres to reach Nowa Nowa (pronounced Now-a Now-a). This quiet village on the Princes Hwy is home to:

* the 151st “Big Thing” in Australia — The Big Root
* thermal springs in Boggy Creek
* the upper reaches of Lake Tyers
* a beginner-friendly mountain bike park nearby
