Great Lake Trail
New Zealand Cycle Trail
Lake Taupo, North Island
The Lake Track will follow the edge of Lake Taupo on an all-weather track through native forest. Once developed, the Lake Cycle Trail will run for 93 kilometres and will be suitable for riders of average fitness. Cyclists can expect stunning views across Lake Taupo to Tongariro National Park and a pumice soil surface track allowing for all weather riding.
The first 33 kilometres has been already competed by Bike Taupo and includes the popular W2K Track. Construction on the remaining 65 kilometers should begin in early 2011 with funding from Nga Haerenga, The New Zealand Cycle Trail project.
The ride starts 15 minutes drive west of Taupo in Whakaipo Bay. Heading out of Whakaipo Bay on the popular W2K Track in the direction of Kinloch the track continues to the Waihaha River and State Highway 32.
Accommodation already exists in Kinloch, Boat Harbour and of course Taupo, but riders will also be able to ride sections accessing each section by water taxi.
