Moonlight/Moke Lake

Mountain Bike Trails in Moonlight/Moke Lake

The Moonlight/Moke Lake area offers epic backcountry mountain biking rich in gold mining heritage, with the grade 4 Moonlight Track featuring a narrow, exposed 4km singletrack climbed from Arthurs Point along old miners' trails and water races high above Skipper Canyon. The Moke Lake Loop combines sheep tracks, 4WD roads, and DOC trails, with the Gold Digger trail winding through historic gold workings before joining the scenic Moke Lake Road to a DOC campground.

This popular short, undulating walk through grassland is surrounded by mountains and goes right round the lake. A short boardwalk at the southern end protects a small wetland. The track has gentle gradients and some boardwalk sections.

Mostly singletrack becoming 4WD at Lake Dispute before returning to singletrack. Watch for steep rocky descent at beginning of 4WD section that gets steeper halfway down. Maybe un-passable after snowfall in winter (except for a fat bike ). Can ride either way but from Lake Dispute towards Moke Lake the 4WD uphill is unrideable PITA.
