Kelvin Heights Trail

9.3km

0.5–1 hr Bike

1.5–2 hrs Walk

Grade

2

A beautiful sunny trail following the Frankton Arm of Lake Whakatipu, starting with a crossing of the historic Kawarau Falls Bridge, originally (and unsuccessfully) designed as a dam to hold back the lake and fossick for gold over 100 years ago. The trail drops in front of the Hilton, shares a short section of road at Willow Place before weaving above sheltered coves, small beaches and picnic spots.

Take care — the trail is narrow and rocky in places, and popular with walkers. Keep left and use your bell.

Beyond the boat ramp and beach at Kelvin Grove, the highlight of the peninsula is the Kelvin Heights Sculpture Trail — four striking works by New Zealand artists, donated to the local community by a generous anonymous art lover. Look out for Wakatipu Kuikui and Presence by Mark Hill, Thru Link to Peak by Shane Woolridge (a 25-tonne schist and steel sculpture perfectly framing Walter Peak), and The Kelvin Peninsula Goats by Jeff Thompson. Keep an eye out too for Terry’s Cove, a secluded lakeside beach named after the Queenstown Trails Trust’s founding Chairman, Terry Stevens.

Once around the golf course, the trail finishes at Jardine Park — a great family destination with a playground, disc golf course, pump track and flying fox — and the start of the more challenging Jacks Point Trail.
