Twizel Cycling

Grade 2, 3-4 hour return, 24 km return. The Twizel River Trail, opposite Twizel township on the eastern side of State Highway 8, runs for 12 km over old farm tracks and a newly established river track. The track is mostly flat with some gentle climbs on smooth track with some avoidable obstacles such as rocks.

Grade 2, 23km circuit. There are two entrances to the Dusky Trail – either the Aoraki/Mount Cook Road (SH 80) or closer to Twizel, off Glen Lyon Road at Fraser Stream. A key highlight of the track is the crossing of the Twizel River. This crossing can be deep after rainfall so bikers need to take care.
