Lake Tekapo Cycling

Situated on the eastern shore of Lake Tekapo, the Lake Tekapo Regional Park offers a wide range of recreational activities including well-marked mountain biking and walking tracks. The park links to the village via the lakeside track and to the Cowans Hill track. Within the park there are 24km of shared used tracks under various stages of development.

Grade 4, 13 km one way (when you bring two cars) or 26km return. The Richmond Trail is a fantastic mountain bike ride for intermediate mountain bikers. The track starts at a signposted car park on the Roundhill Ski Area road.

Grade 2, 3.2 km. This well-formed circuit track is signposted from State Highway 8 on the northern outskirts of Lake Tekapo. It is a combined walking and cycling track. Highlights include the views of the glacial features, tarns and wetlands of this area.
