Mountain Biking Lankey Creek Tram Track
#127 of 194 mountain bike trails in South Island
Start up Murray Creek Track then turn off towards the Energetic Gold Mine site. The 6km/4 mile one way track follows an old tram track for most of the way. You are required to walk some stairs to access this otherwise beautifully crafted trail.
Grade: 4
Time: 1.5 - 2 hrs

Starts via the Murray Creek Track.
This is what I call a heritage trail. Definitely interesting for an insight into local mining history. I preferred riding the Murray Creek to Ajax track loop.
| ThankPartly historic tram track, partly hiking track - it's a schizophrenic trail! And there is a lot of push and carry...
| ThankThe gold mining history is interesting.
Climb up via Murrays Creek trail for a good loop. Nice technical features, lots of tree roots and bridges.Steep and fun descent. Also plenty of gold mining history if you take the time to stop.
| ThankOnly drawback is tons of steps, lots of bike carrying.
