These tracks are recommended by our team at Sport Central.
  • Bannockburn to end of Pearson Road. Continues on from Cromwell -Bannockburn walk. Goes under Bannockburn bridge and follows the Kawerau River arm for 6km through old mine workings. Slightly harder walk than Cromwell - Bannockburn with great views especially in Autumn. Mountain Biking this track requires a high skill level and a above average level of fitness.
  • Bannockburn Sluicings off Felton Road Bannockburn through historic sluicings. Connects to Stewart Town track with heaps of old caves and dug outs early miners used to sleep in.  More suitable for walking than biking.
  • Millers Flat to Beaumont Bridge track. Follows true left bank and is also easy for mountain biking. Great views of the Clutha River at Beaumont Gorge.
The Queenstown area also a number of challenging tracks that are suitable for those with a high level of fitness.  For details of these tracks contact Bill Godsall at Sport Central This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or on 03 445 1142.
