The Riverlands Rail Trail is a sealed cycleway from central Blenheim to the Riverlands industrial estate to the east of Blenheim. The trail follows the railway line, crossing Alabama Road near Riverlands School. At Cob Cottage Road, it is possible to connect with the Wither Hills Mapp Track. The trail is mostly flat, with a couple of sections with very gentle gradients so suitable for cyclists of all fitness levels.

Spring Creek Cycleway

The Spring Creek cycle trail is a walking and cycle track that runs from the northern entrance of Blenheim to Spring Creek, passing through Grovetown along the way. The cycle trail begins at the Grove Road bridge, and runs parallel to State Highway One and the main north railway line. The trail is sealed, and native plantings have been made at various locations along the cycleway.
