Information

Time: 1.5 - 3 hours (loop track) Distance: 11.5km

This directional 11.5 km loop track was designed by Bike Wanaka and formed by local volunteers. It is rated as an intermediate level biking track.

Walkers are welcome on the track and will enjoy the upper level views of the Clutha River, and panoramic shots of the surrounding peaks.

The track weaves its way through typical Otago landscape featuring matagouri and tussock. There is a small section of shade on the track as it passes through the edge of a pine plantation.

A selection of berms and tight corners appeal to intermediate mountain bikers, with easier riding options around rocks and other technical obstacles. Cycling a directional track lowers the risk of collisions as everyone travels in the same direction.
