The Waterfall Way is an 50 km scenic ride starting in Dorrigo and ending at the Pacific Highway near Urunga, taking roughly an hour to complete. Known for its breathtaking beauty, this route weaves through dense rainforests, misty mountains, and past stunning waterfalls. The journey begins in Dorrigo, with an easy detour to the impressive Dangar Falls, before winding through the World Heritage-listed Dorrigo National Park.
The road is fully sealed, featuring a mix of sweeping curves and elevation changes that make it a favorite among motorcyclists. However, caution is needed, especially in wet conditions, as trucks frequently use this road and can leave behind diesel spills, creating slippery patches after rain.
A highlight of this ride is a stop in Bellingen, a charming town known for its vibrant cafes and laid-back atmosphere, perfect for a coffee break or a relaxed meal. But for those seeking a bit more adventure, the included GPX file has a sneaky little side track. This hidden detour takes you via the northern side of the river, offering a quieter, less-travelled path that adds an extra layer of exploration to your ride.
With its mix of thrilling curves, stunning scenery, and a touch of the road less travelled, the Waterfall Way offers an unforgettable experience for riders looking to soak in some of New South Wales' most picturesque landscapes while enjoying a few hidden gems along the way.
