Arthurs Point Trail
6km
45 min one way
Developed as part of the QLDC active travel network, the Arthurs Point Trail is a sealed commuter pathway beside Gorge Road, connecting Arthurs Point to Queenstown. Although it currently shares the single-lane Edith Cavell bridge with vehicle traffic, this trail also provides a direct link to Queenstown from the Wharehuanui Trail and Shotover Gorge Trail — follow the magenta-coloured signs from Gantleys Tavern and along Atley Road to the Edith Cavell Bridge and Canyon Brewery.
Share the short section of road with caution before regaining the shared pathway and a gentle descent into Queenstown via the Matakauri Wetlands.
