A journey of volcanic discovery
Great Lake Trails
The Great Lake Trails are a series of beautiful trails which meander for 90 kilometres beside the shores of beautiful Lake Taupo. The Great Lake Trails are one of 22 Great Rides of New Zealand, part of Nga Haerenga, the New Zealand Cycle Trail Network.
Consistently rated highly for rider experience, the Great Lake Trails boast exhilarating downhills, fun switchbacks and cambered berms to deliver true singletrack heaven for riders. The trails were built by mountain bikers, for mountain bikers, realising the pipedream of a community that lives and breathes cycling.
In 2012 the tracks built and maintained by Bike Taupo were accredited as a Silver Level Ride Centre by the International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA). As one of only 11 Rides Centres throughout the world, it means our facilities are right up there internationally and offer awesome mountain biking suitable for a wide variety of riding abilities. Of the 11 centres only one is Gold, three are Silver and six are Bronze so are you waiting for?
