Badja Forest Road is a 32 km unsealed route through South-Eastern NSW's stunning Badja State Forest. Known for its challenging terrain and connection to Big Badja, this road is a favourite among adventure riders seeking rugged trails and breathtaking views.

The journey offers a mix of gravel and dirt, with rocky, steep, and technical sections, particularly as you approach the Badja Fire Trail leading to Big Badja Hill. Riders should be prepared for sudden challenges, such as loose surfaces, steep inclines, and the occasional detour due to navigation mishaps or unexpected obstacles. Stories from the trail often highlight its unpredictability—like a lost pack tangled in a wheel or a minor spill on a rocky climb—adding to the sense of adventure.

The pinnacle of the ride is reaching the summit of Big Badja via the fire trail. The climb is short but steep, leading to a bald, rocky summit with 360-degree views of the surrounding wilderness. After the summit, riders can enjoy a smoother descent back to Pike’s Saddle, where Badja Forest Road resumes its more manageable course.

This route connects seamlessly with other adventure tracks, including Kybeyan Road and Tuross Road, creating endless opportunities for exploration. Badja Forest Road is more than just a path; it’s a gateway to unforgettable trails, shared camaraderie, and stories of conquering the unexpected in the heart of NSW’s rugged high country.
