Wisemans Ferry Road is a scenic sealed route winding through the bush-covered hills and river valleys north-west of Sydney. Stretching between Gosford on the Central Coast and Wisemans Ferry on the Hawkesbury River, this road offers approximately 70 km of riding bliss for motorcyclists looking to escape the city and explore a more peaceful, rural landscape.
The road follows the bends of the Hawkesbury River and Mangrove Creek, weaving through eucalyptus forests, farmlands, and sandstone escarpments. With its mix of long flowing corners, tighter twisties, and short straights, it's ideal for cruisers and sport-touring bikes alike. Traffic is generally light, making it a great midweek or early morning ride, though caution is advised on blind bends and during wet conditions as moss and leaf litter can accumulate.
Highlights along the route include Spencer, a small riverside hamlet perfect for a quiet coffee break, and the ferry crossing at Wisemans Ferry, where you can pause for a riverside lunch or continue exploring the surrounding trails and roads. The ride can easily link into other favourites like Old Northern Road, Ten Mile Hollow Trail, or even loop into the Central Coast hinterland via Mangrove Mountain.
Wisemans Ferry Road offers a satisfying blend of scenery, solitude, and smooth tarmac. It's a gateway to some of NSW's best day rides and a great introduction to the riding potential around the Hawkesbury and Central Coast regions.
