Central Otago Rail Trail

The Otago Central Rail Trail is a 150-kilometre walking, cycling and horse riding track in Central Otago.  It runs in an arc between Middlemarch and Clyde, along the route of the former Otago Central Railway. The trail has become a popular tourist attraction, with 10,000-12,000 users per year as a conservative estimate.

The trail starts at Middlemarch in the east, loops north through the spectacular countryside of the Strath Taieri and the Maniototo to end at Clyde, on the banks of the Clutha River.
