Macleans Island MTB Track

Regional Ride

Canterbury , South Island

The Macleans Island MTB Track is part of the Waimakariri River Regional Park.It´s a well built, fast, smooth track that everybody will enjoy. Turn off Johns Road onto Macleans Island road. The entrance is directly opposite Orana Park.

A very popular one-way track loop, currently just over 10km which is used by a wide variety of age and skill groups. On weekends it becomes massivly populated with families and young children, so if you are wanting to set a lap record, don't go on a sunny weekend. The track is all weather and drys fast. It is almost all singletrack with a short 4x4 section approx 1km in. The track is also dedicated to bikes, so no walkers should be encountered and you will have right of way! A great track to do night riding on, but beware as gates close as early as 7pm in the darker half of the year, and open till 10pm in the summer months.
