Welcome to Narooma
The Narooma Mountain Bike Club is a volunteer organization that was established in 2019 right before the Black Summer Bushfires and the Covid pandemic. We were very grateful to be given a permit from Forestry Corporation NSW to have trails in the Bodalla State Forest.
The Club worked at applying for grants and we were successful in receiving $4.3million dollars as part of the Federal and NSW State Governments Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Fund. As a result of the funding and also the hard work of our volunteers we now have 85kms of machine and hand built trails.
​
We are all volunteers maintaining these trails so any help either financial or physical is always appreciated.
