Kalangadoo & Nangwarry Ride - A scenic ride of 60 kms return -the route partly uses the main road to Millicent and t6o Mt Gambier so expect high speed traffic and large semi trailers. Stop for refreshments at Kalangadoo or Nangwarry before heading back to Penola.
 

Bool Lagoon Ride - The most challenging of the rides from Penola. Bool Lagoon is one of the most exciting and diverse wetlands in Australia. But be prepared for the ride to Bool Lagoon as the distance is long and sheltered stops are generally not available.
