Forest Headquarters is just north of Coopernook (between Taree and Kew). It is a lovely spot for a family picnic or overnight stay in scenic eucalypt forest. Free electric barbecues are available in the nearby picnic shelter area. Caravans and campervans are welcome, but please note Coopernook HQ is unpowered and does not offer a dump station. ​​ This is a 7km course around the beautiful Coopernook State Forest on the doorstep of the Coopernook village. The course is filled with lots of hidden secrets for you to find and have fun with. ​This may be your first official trail run with you dog or you may be old pro's at trail racing together. So what do you need to know? You have options either 21km, 14km, 7km or a short options for the beginners 4km. ​The Course (7km) has about 140m of elevation per lap, so it is quite flat. ​ Most important fact that there are going to be lots of dogs out there, and wildlife you will encounter when on the trails, so this is a on the lead event. Which means that they must be on a lead from the time they leave your vehicle. ​
