Most of the Otago Central Rail Trail Is Accessible to Everyone.
The trail has been completed by many people who are not able to ride a standard bike and there are now e-trikes available for hire along with tandem bikes etc. There are gates across the trail in places to allow access beside the 800 mm wide cattle stops.
The Tiroti bridge between Daisybank and Hyde requires a detour off the trail. There are also chicanes along the trail and work is scheduled for 2024/25 to increase the width, but this has not prevented people completing the entire trail.
If you have any queries, contact your Cycle Tour Planner or email admin@otagocentralrailtrail.co.nz and we may be able to arrange a key from DOC to assist with gates where required.
