Hike or Ride Clutha Gold Trail, Central Otago, New Zealand
The 73 km Clutha Gold Trail in Central Otago is one of the ‘Great Rides’ of the Nga Haerenga, New Zealand Cycle Trail, a truly unique heritage experience between Roxburgh and Lawrence. The trail starts at Lake Roxburgh Dam.
Either hike or mountain bike the trail along rugged semi-arid dry lands through to lush green contoured farmlands. Almost two thirds of the trail travels alongside the powerful Clutha Mata Au River and its distinctive turquoise colour.
There are four small towns along the trail that were established during the gold rushes. Each has its own story and are now welcoming places to stop for a meal or overnight.
Lake Roxburgh Dam to Roxburgh: 10 km
Roxburgh to Miller's Flat: 20 km
Miller's Flat to Beaumont: 20 km
Beaumont to Lawrence: 20 km
An annual maintenance contribution of $25 per person, or $50 per family, covers the cost of trail maintenance for use of the Clutha Gold Trail and the adjoining Roxburgh Gorge Trail. A 1-Day Pass is available for $10 per person, or a life pass for $500. Contribute at the i-SITE at Lawrence, Roxburgh, Alexandra, Cromwell or Ranfurly.
