Grandview Ridge Track Mountain Bike Trail

This track makes for a fine expedition along the hills to the east of the Hawea flats when combined with the Grandview Creek and Grandview Summit tracks.The track undulates and rises progressively to the northern end. It is possible to continue beyond the link with Grandview Summit track but there is no exit this way for mountain bikes.The track is mostly on easements on private land with some sections on public conservation land. It is mostly on double tracks but there is a short section where it follows a fenceline. Some sections are steep and will require pushing or hike a bike.It makes a fine e-bike excursion but there are a small number of locked gates that will require lifting the bike over.In winter and spring it may be covered by snow. Given the altitude, suitable extra clothing should be carried.The track shown starts at the entrance to Long Gully Farm. It is allowed to drive up through the farm road for about 2km to reach a small car park by a Department of Conservation Sign.The Department of Conservation also indicates that the track can be accessed by mountain bikes through the Eastern Hills and Deep Gully Tracks as shown on their brochure: https://www.doc.govt.nz/Documents/parks-and-recreation/tracks-and-walks/otago/wanaka-outdoor-pursuits-brochure.pdf. The Deep Gully Track is very overgrown at the top.
