Family Cycling Trails

Region: Lake Wakatipu Ride

This moderate-to-easy trail is ideal for families who have kids along with them or couple who like to take to the sights at their own pace and breathe in the Queenstown fresh air.

We suggest you begin at the Queenstown Gardens entrance and follow the signposts all the way along the lakefront.

For a quick snack, stop by at the Boatshed, Frankton Marina and continue to cycle ahead by following the signs to the historic one-lane Kawarau Falls Bridge. This is where Lake Wakatipu flows into the mighty Kawarau River. It's a fabulous place to take some pictures.

Carry on and along the shores, catch an up-close lakefront view of Queenstown's lovely contemporary homes. This easy trail shall lead you to the Wakatipu Yacht Club – continue past the yacht club and explore the Kelvin Peninsula Loop. This Loop paves your way ahead amidst forests and gives you a birds eye view of Queenstown Bay, Walter Peak and the Frankton Arm. Sit back and enjoy a nice picnic here.
