Frontaer is leading the way with enduro and adventure motorcycling gear. We’re here for you as the rider to help progression in the offroad motorcycling world. Places to Ride a Dirt Bike near SydneyThere are actually quite a few spots in Sydney where you can ride a dirt, MX or enduro bike offroad. These tracks and trails are opened by the New South Wales government provided you have a licence and rego. We’ll also mention some spots where you can ride without rego but will need to pay an entrance fee and pay the waiver. We would easily recommend these riding spots: 1. Pacific Park Motorcycle ComplexHead out past Rousehill on the way to Windsor and turn right. Located near Cattai, the Pacific Park Motorcycle Complex in South Maroota is well-known to Sydney residents as the best dirt bike riding spot. This is a great spot for experienced riders as well as families. They have a dedicated childrens learning area if you’ve just bought them a new dirt bike. There’s 2 tracks actually – one for toddlers and another for more advanced riders. 2. Yengo State ForestA very popular spot for dirt bike riding near Sydney is Yengo State Forest. NSW National Parks has several trails available including Howes Trail and Big Yango Loop to Laguna. They also run rallies here. Note: You can’t ride in the National Park, only on the State Forest 4×4 tracks and trails.
There are reports of a police crackdown in this area with rangers and police born riding dirt bikes. Guess what? You’ll only be in trouble if you don’t have a licence of registration. 3. Louee Enduro and Motocross ComplexLocated 3 hours from both Sydney and Newcastle (and 20 minutes from Mudgee) is the Louee Enduro and Motocross Complex. This place is hugely popular especially on weekends so get to the front gate early as they open. This is the type of spot where you’ll bring some friends and camping gear. They have accommodation on site including cabins and camping. 4. Lochmaree Motorbike ParkJust like Louee above, you’ve gotta be committed for this and it’s best for a weekend camping trip. First you’ll drive the 2 hours to Goulburn then turn right for another hour of driving before *finally* unloading the trailer. Lochmaree Motorbike Park is well worth the drive though as there are 2300 acres of enduro tracks. This place isn’t really built for MX riders though, but kids are welcome with reserved tracks. 5. Hartley Valley Holiday FarmThe last on our list isn’t our first choice as there are only 27 acres but it’s still a great spot. Head over to Hartley Valley Holiday Farm for a unique experience. We say unique because in addition to dirt bike riding, you can also do horse riding as well as jump in the swimming pool, use the BMX bicycle track (yes, they have one!) or simply use the tennis or basketball courts. Riding spot wrap upLet’s make this as easy for you to make a decision about which dirt bike riding spot near Sydney appeals the most.

Sutherland PCYC Minibike ClubSutherland PCYC Minibike Club is worth checking out as well in the southern side of Sydney.
