Kinross State Forest
At a Glance
Kinross State Forest is one of NSW mountain bikings best kept secrets. The mountain biking trails include over 20km's of purpose built singletrack through lush pine forest and over varied terrain.
The area offers a large percentage of singletrack suited to riders of all abilities, with a good combination of easy flowing smooth sections teamed with some more technical short and sharp hills, fast descents and some fun surprises thrown in along the way.
The city of Orange is around 4 hrs from Sydney and 3 hrs from Canberra. Kinross State Forest is situated on the northeast edge of town, a 10 minute drive or 20 minute ride from the Orange town centre.
Meet at the Bulgas Road carpark, Western edge of the forest.
Drive out from Orange on the Ophir Rd, before you reach the rubbish tip, turn right onto Bulgas Rd. Follow this about 2km to the forest (the road turns to gravel).
Note that the 'Directions there' google maps link below may not give the best route/destination. It seems that google maps ignores Bulgas Rd when selecting a route and gives the next closest spot. The 'Meeting point' link should be correct.

History
Chicken Legs posted a great bit of nostalgia here... as he said, "Old map I come across today, some of you may never have seen the humble beginnings. "
This dam on the "Goat Track" and at the top of "Bogan's Run" started to be known by this apt name and it's good as a geographical reference point. |
Mt Bulgas Reserve is the highest point in Kinross State Forest (well technically it's in the adjacent reserve). The view used to be better when the trees were shorter but it's still not bad. It's all downhill from here but a good challenge to climb to the top! |
There's a shady parking area by Bulgas Road in the Western Edge of the forest. |
