Fiordland Trails Trust
"Creating a buzzing outdoor recreational scene around Te Anau & Manapouri."
Formed in September 2007, The Fiordland Trails Trust was established to enable the provision of a high quality interconnected network of trails in and around Fiordland for non-motorised recreational activity.
Lake2Lake Trail – Te Anau to Manapouri
The Lake2Lake trail runs alongside Lake Te Anau and the East side of the Waiau river towards Lake Manapouri.
The total length to Manapouri will be 28km. The first 19km from Te Anau to Balloon Loop and last 4.7km from Manapouri to Supply Bay Road is now open for walkers, runners, cyclists and any other non-motorised transport (e-bikes welcome).
The trail is mostly 2.2-2.5m wide and is rated “Grade 2 Easy”.
The trail can be used in both directions or people can make a loop by returning on Golf Course Road or the Te Anau-Manapouri Highway.
A 41km loop can be created up Mt York Road and along Ramparts Road, past the lookout, returning to town via the Te Anau-Mossburn Highway.
Other Trails in the Area
The Trust has their own strategy which incorporates a recent study of the cycling opportunities in Fiordland, along with a broader list of projects that we hope to undertake in the coming years.
The current priority for the Trust is the Te Anau – Manapouri Lake2Lake Trail.

The amazing team at Wild Rides - Bike Fiordland have donated this fantastic bike as a spot prize for the Meridian Hydro half marathon and Mitre 10 Te Anau 10k. It's a Norco Storm, valued at $750 RRP - how good would this be to take home after Saturday's event?
Remember, there are still some spots available in the half marathon event, check out the details here: fiordlandtrails.nz
