The Blackwood East trails are located in steep gorge country and are fairly limited in number as the area to south of the river is now a conservation area with a lot of the former 4WD trails now closed. The trails listed here are located along the river and to the north of the conservation area.

The area has quite a bit of mining history though the area wasn't as heavily mined for gold as was the western side of Blackwood. Tunnel Point is well worth a visit being the location of a tunnel built ot divert the river to allow alluvial mining to be undertaken in the drained river bed.

Amblers Lane	One of the 4WD tracks to the north of the river that has been maintained maiking for a quick run down into the gorge over a nice washed out piece of track.
Byers Back Track	A ride along the gorge taking in gorge views and a bit of the mining history of the area.
Haydens Track	A ride which takes you up onto the range before heading down on a steep trail into the gorge. Trail into the gorge can largely be ridden.
Tunnel Point Track	A ride which takes you up onto the range before heading down on a steep trail into the gorge. Some hike-a-bike involved. Get to see the old rush heritage of the diversion tunnel as well.
