Frequently asked questions about Mogo Trails

The eastern side of the network opened on 17 August.

The complete network of about 130 kilometres is set to open in the first quarter of 2025. A grand opening date will be announced and a ribbon-cutting event will take place.

Trails difficulty is rated through a colouring system:

• green (easy)
• blue (intermediate)
• black (advanced)
• double black (extreme).

Beginners can discover their passion, and seasoned riders can push their limits.

The main trailheads on-site at the Mogo Trails feature printed, temporary network maps.

Digital maps are available via the Trailforks website and app.

We are still working on maps for the Mogo Trails website.

If you're into gravity, base yourself at the botanic garden trailhead – there’s plenty of gentle climbs and fun rolling descents as well as a skills park area. From there you can also access the Mogo Trig area, which features more beefy and chunky trails for the next progression.

For the eastern network there are three major entry points:

• Mogo town: The Mogo trailhead is accessed from the corner of James Street and Annett Street. Parking and amenities are available within the township and at Mogo sports oval.
• Eurobodalla Regional Botanic Garden: Trails car parking and amenities are on Deep Creek Dam Road.
• Curtis Road: This is great access for anyone staying in Batemans Bay or Batehaven, with car parking and amenities at Corrigans Reserve a short ride away. There is no parking on Curtis Road.

• The trails are open 24/7. Check Trailforks website and app for any closures.
• Access to the Botanic Garden trailhead carpark is now 24/7.

At this stage, trails on the eastern side of Princes Highway are being gradually opened only.

As construction progresses, please use the Trailforks app for current trail details and locations.

Temporary corflute signs are in place. Avoid closed trails marked with bunting or as listed on Trailforks - they may be unsafe due to ongoing work.

Currently there are no shuttle points as the network is still under construction. We have shuttle points in mind and are currently working with Forestry to establish permits for business opportunities.

As the complete network opens, we will have a better idea of shuttle opportunities. Interested shuttle operators can contact Teresa Lever:

• Minimise your impact by staying on the mountain bike trails.
• Carry a mobile phone, especially if you are riding on your own. Know who to call in an emergency, or dial Triple-Zero (000).
• Install the Emergency Plus app on your phone and use the what3words function when describing where you are located.
• Pass other trail users with care.
• Slow down at intersections where you’re likely to meet other riders.
• Ride your bike at controlled speed, especially approaching blind corners.
• Courtesy is the best safety on the trail.
• Other riders may not be familiar with the trails. Talk to them about trail etiquette, directions and safety.
• Cyclists should yield to horses by stopping and asking permission of the horse rider to pass. Cyclists should not ring bells as they may startle a horse - voice contact is preferable.
• Trail users and visitors are required to obey all signs throughout Mogo Trails network.

Mogo Trails are being developed by Eurobodalla Council under a permit issued by the Forestry Corporation of NSW. The trail build is managed by Rocky Trail Destination with subcontractor Next Level Mountain Bike.

Rocky Trail Destination will manage trail maintenance for the first year – the timeframe of maintenance starts on the respective trails’ opening dates. The Batemans Bay Mountain Bike Club assists with volunteer maintenance days.
