Roxburgh Gorge Trail: 34 km in Otago
The Roxburgh Gorge Trail is a named Ngā Haerenga Great Ride in Otago. The governing figure used here is 34 km (nzcycletrail.com · Roxburgh Gorge), not a straight line between towns.
Typical time on the route is 1 day. Grade: Grade 2–3 · easy–intermediate. Season window: Year-round.
Alexandra to Doctors Point, jet boat through the unbuilt middle, then ride into Roxburgh. The jet boat is not optional if you want the published through-route. Links directly to the Clutha Gold Trail.
The itinerary on this page is the published stop sequence: Alexandra, Doctors Point, Shingle Creek, Roxburgh. Cabins and holiday homes load live around each stop; hut and trailhead pins without a town page still search by radius.
Book DOC huts and Great Walks on the DOC system where that applies. Town beds are what this site lists. Carry the day’s food on remote legs — several of these routes have no shop between ends.
