Twizel River Trail

Summary

Twizel River Trail is located opposite Twizel township area on the eastern side of SH8. Look out for a pedestrian gate along with a Department of Conservation sign.

This trail runs for 12 km over old farm tracks and a newly established river track. The river is intermittently lined with willow trees which provide plenty of shade on a hot summer's day. It is also a great place to explore and find an un-crowded swimming hole or fishing spot.

Mountain bikers, off-road runners, walkers and anglers will enjoy using Twizel River Trail. The pedestrian gates are wide enough for all-terrain baby buggies to fit through so that young families may also enjoy a stroll alongside Twizel River.
