Locals say

This 2.4km trail follows an old miner’s trail. The (overall) 42m climb is reasonably gradual so it’s not too challenging but this track does have technical sections and is rated intermediate so riders need to be aware of narrow sections as well as a few high edges which will test them.

Gold Digger

A dual direction track that flows down to the lake.

  • Intermediate/Blue
  • 2 km

Locals say

This trail is a 1.4km ride that starts after the Phoenix Climb (a 347 meter long 50m high climb to reach the start of Phoenix). It's got good visibility making it easy to follow and is also single direction. Dog are allowed however so riders will need to remain alert.

Phoenix

Native bush, roller coasters and switchbacks.

  • Intermediate/Blue
  • 1 km

Locals say

Stoney Creek is a very advanced trail (black diamond) and includes compulsory jump gaps - so be warned. Expect surprises because these trails will deliver (especially Stoney Creek). Both of these trails are quite short but offer uniquely different rides for different skill levels.

Stony Creek & Toll Gate Trails.

It really is quite 'Remarkable'.

  • Very Diffcult (Black Diamond)
  • 1.3 and 1.4km

Locals say

This is a demanding 8km long black diamond trail that will challenge intermediate riders who are looking to push their skill level up a notch. It’s also one of the lesser used trails so it’s good if you’re seeking a bit of solitude.

Fernhill Loop

Not for the faint hearted.

  • Intermediate/ Advanced/Dark Blue
  • 7 km

Locals say

A little bit of something for everyone here! This full day ride takes you on a countryside tour with amazing vista's, photo opportunities, swim spots and picnic places. Easy to Intermediate (Grade 2 to 3) and if you're lucky enough to ride this trail in Autumn, the colours are magnificent.

Queenstown to Arrowtown

A full days adventure for beginner and intermediate riders.

  • Easy to Intermediate (Grade 2 to 3)
  • 33kms

Locals say

CLOSED FOR WINTER - Just like Missing Link 'Lower' you have to climb, climb, climb to get there. In fact, it'll take you 5 times as long to get up to the starting point as it will to come down this single-track black diamond run but once you're coming down it? Oh yeah, it's worth all the effort.

Missing Link - Upper

Get up there slow but get back down real quick.

  • Intermediate/ Advanced/Dark Blue
  • 1 km

But wait, there's more...
