CENTRAL OTAGO RAIL TRAIL

This 150 kilometre bicycle trail from Clyde to Middlemarch, takes you through heartland Central Otago and is a wonderful adventure for all age groups. You will cycle on the original railway track cut by hand pick and shovel from the mid 1870's till completion in 1912.
The Otago Rail Trail takes you through several charming small villages each with its own historic link to the track. Take time sampling the fare in the local pubs and cafes, soak in the mountains and big skies while chatting to locals and fellow bikers.
