Roxburgh Gorge Trail

Discover the Beauty of Roxburgh Gorge: A Must-Do Cycle Trail in Central Otago

Cycle the Roxburgh Gorge Trail, a 34 km Grade 2-3 ride through some of New Zealand’s most stunning landscapes. Perfect for cyclists of all abilities, this trail offers a mix of flat paths and more challenging sections as you follow the Clutha River, surrounded by dramatic cliffs, rolling farmland, and vibrant native bush.

Highlights include the historic gold mining town of Roxburgh, the breathtaking Lindis River Gorge with its jagged rocks and deep valleys, and peaceful stretches of riverbank cycling. You’ll also have the opportunity to take a scenic boat ride through the gorge, adding a unique touch to your adventure. The Roxburgh Gorge Trail can be easily combined with other Central Otago cycling trails, such as the Otago Central Rail Trail, for a longer, multi-day journey through Central Otago’s magnificent landscapes.
