Roxburgh Gorge + Clutha Gold Cycle Trails | New Zealand Great Rides

The Roxbrugh Gorge Trail is a fantastic one-day ride from Alexandra to Lake Roxburgh Dam, following the beautiful Clutha River. Combined with the Clutha Gold Trail, this makes a perfect 2-3 day cycling adventure in Central Otago, New Zealand.
The middle section of the trail is not accessible by bike and cyclists need to take a 12km boat ride down the river before continuing on the trail.
Date Cycled: February 2022
Duration: 2 days
Distance: 107 KM

    Great video, rode it back in Feb and loved it. Don't think the Clutha Gold gets the acclaim it deserves

    I think all the Central Otago Cycle Trails should get more love! It's such a beautiful part of the country

    I thought from watching I would be more intested in that than the Rouxbourough, how do you even spell that....? 😅

    Can't really think of any tips tbh! The Roxburgh Gorge section is definitely the highlight, it's very beautiful so take your time and enjoy it. The jetboat ride is 45 minutes - an hour, so if it's not a very hot day, maybe put on a wind breaker to keep warm.

    Thanks Elad! We did do the big climb up from Aspiring Hut, but failed to make it all the way to the Cascade Saddle as we ran out of time/legs were shot haha We'll have a video up about that eventually!

    Organized transport from Lawrence back to Alexandra. It was pretty expensive, but we were the only people so essentially private and it is about a 1.5 drive back, so price is understandable
