Twin Rivers Trail

Covering the Shotover and the Kawarau rivers, this trail offers spectacular views and remote picturesque wilderness.

LOCALS SAY

Cycling the banks of both the Shotover River and the Kawarau River. This trail offers greater remoteness and more of a wilderness feel than many of the other component trails of ‘The Great Ride’ network. If you’re looking for solitude and natural splendour, then this ride is for you, although we recommend packing water and refreshments since its remoteness means that you’ll struggle to purchase options on the trail.
