Nowa Nowa is a small town situated at the northern part of the Lake Tyers system and where the major river that feeds the lake system, Boggy Creek, enters.
Nowa Nowa offers three major destinations, Orbost/Cann River to the east, Bruthen/Bairnsdale to the west, and Lake Tyers Beach/Lakes Entrance to the south. the Buchan Caves to the north are also popular.
And for cyclists it is a famous point where the rail trail goes through East Gippsland as well.
So not surprisingly it is also home to a great Mountain Bike Park as well. Visit their site for som excellent publicity and information.
Plans are to link Nowa Nowa to Lake Tyers Beach and Lakes Entrance with a bike track as well.
As with all public sites some common sense must be exercised if the resource is to be long lasting and not abused by the few.

Directions:
From Lakes Entrance or Bairnsdale drive to Nowa Nowa township and cross over the Boggy Creek and take a left turn into Forestry Road and follow it for about 1km.
From Orbost drive towards Nowa Nowa but turn right before Boggy Creek and take a left turn into Forestry Road and follow it for about 1km.
The tracks start at a point on the left hand side driving along Forestry Road. There is enough room for quite a few cars to park at that point.
Make sure your car is secured and valuables are not easily spotted.
This is a general security warning to all tourists in the East Gippsland area.
