The 55km Lake Dunstan Trail takes you from Smith’s Way to Clyde along Lake Dunstan, through the Cromwell Heritage Precinct, along the Kawarau River and the mighty Clutha River Mata-au.
Ride the trail by e-bike or standard bike and combine it with the Otago Central Rail trail or the Roxburgh Gorge and Clutha Gold trails on one of our tried and tested fully supported itineraries.
Key features of the trail include the rich Maori and early pioneering history, world-class bridges and clip on's, abundant vineyards and cellar doors in Bannockburn and the Historical Precinct in Cromwell.

This part of the trail is relatively flat and meanders alongside the Lake Dunstan and the inlets of Pisa Mooring’s to the Cromwell Heritage Precinct. Here you will take a step back in time to the gold rush and explore heritage buildings, scattered with artisan businesses.
From Cromwell Heritage Precinct you will continue on to Bannockburn accross the bridge. Here you will find an array of local vineyards and cellar doors. Talk to us about our half day or full day wine trail tour from Cromwell.
From the Bannockburn bridge you can continue on a short section to Cornish point, following the Kawarau River.
The final section of the trail through to Clyde follows a mixture of compacted cycle trail, clip on trails and suspension bridges. There are five bolt on sections/bluff bridges along this track with the third bluff bridge stretching 200m. Look out for the floating coffee shop!
