17km / 27km / 35km

The owners of ROCKY BAY RESORTS, at Park Rynie have decided to provide their visitors to Rocky Bay Caravan Park and Lodge with yet another activity that they can partake in whilst visiting ROCKY BAY RESORTS by providing a cycling trail on Ellingham Estate farm, which is adjacent to Rocky Bay Resorts.

The trails consist of a 35km trail, with two shorter trails (17km and 27km) within the 35km trail.

The 35k trail is not for novices riders (All trails have single track sections)

All the trails start at Rocky Bay and head onto the private property of Ellingham Estate farm and loop back to the end at Rocky Bay.  To start, the first 5 to 6 km’s is on farm roads and jeep tracks.)  Thereafter it becomes a combination of jeep tracks and single track through cane fields and indigenous bush, while the last 5km’s is downhill with awesome views of the ocean as you descend down to the coast and back to Rocky Bay.

There will be NO CHARGE, but to help with the upkeep of the trail and the control of alien plants, we have placed an HONESTY BOX at the start and donations will be greatly appreciated.

Accommodation:  Rocky Bay Resorts consists of a caravan park (166 campsites all within 200m of the beach and 27 self-catering log cabins (2/4/6 sleepers), as well as an upmarket 12-sleeper apartment.  Come down to Rocky Bay Resorts with the family and enjoy some MTB riding, swimming, fishing, snorkelling, diving or just relax and take a break at the beach.
