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
