Mountain Bike Trails in Arrowtown Trails

Advance Peak Track

Mountainous trail connecting the Arrow River/ Macetown to the Shotover catchment at Strohles Flat. Not for the faint-hearted, this is a big day out, probably best tackled on an e-bike by experienced riders (you will need to carry a spare battery) and hikers only. An awesome adventure for the summer months, passing some great relics of mining history at the Andersons, Homeward Bound and Premier Batteries. Descent from the ridge off Mt Saint Just is hard to spot in places, veer left when you hit the terrace at the bottom to find the overgrown exit onto the Skippers Road. Exit back to Queenstown via Pinchers Bluff and the slog up to Skippers Saddle.

Allan Reid Connect

Access to/from the water race and Allan Reid Road. Useful if Bush Creek isn't your thing. Very steep climb/descent with some rutted corners. Track is vague in lower stretches but followable.

Bush Creek

Big climb from Arrowtown to saddle with some very steep sections. Great downhill too. Also can be accessed from Coronet Peak via the XC track and Slip Saddle track. Remember to give way to walkers at all times.

Macetown Road

MTB ride to Macetown an abandoned historic gold mining village. If you follow the singletrak there is no reason to cross the Arrow river that this track follows. There is a legal road that follows the Arrow river to Macetown so look out for 4WDs and take it easy on the way back down. Follow the road and take all the singletrack options, if you come to a ford on the road look for the singletrack that starts just before it. Most of them are not signposted so keep a sharp lookout or find a local who knows the way Remember you DON'T need to get your feet wet by crossing the river IF you take the singletrack options but you can cross the river over and over again if you just follow the road.

Murphy's Run

Intermediate trail with some exposure. Traverses and drops from Tobins Track down to the Arrow River.
