Ride it, walk it, experience it!

Once the route of a bustling railway line, the Rail Trail is a 150km gravel path for walkers, cyclists and horse riders.

Its gentle gradient has no steep hills, and takes 3-5 days to complete starting in either direction.  The many friendly small towns along the way offer good food and accommodation.

This is New Zealand’s first rail trail and it will take you across old wooden trestle bridges and viaducts; past schist rock, parched hills, tussock grasses, awesome gorge scenery and spectacular mountains; through farmlands and tunnels to historic landmarks, goldfields and pioneer settlements.
