Otago Rail Trail
The Otago Rail Trail, unlike any of the cycleways projects that are based on it, allows horses.
Although the recent website redesign seems to have totally eliminated horse riding (and walking) from the activities. The Otago Rail Trail is divided into six sections:
Clyde Railhead to Chatter Creek: 25km
Chatter Creek to Lauder: 19km
Lauder to Oturehua: 23km
Oturehua to Ranfurly: 21km
Ranfurly to Daisybank: 21km
Daisybank to Middlemarch: 38km
