Want a Taupo local mountain bike ride to warm the muscles? This is an easy cross-country style mountain bike ride, super close to Taupo central. Here's The Rotary Ride, Taupo; a trail suitable for all abilities. Another mountain bike trail review from Mucker and Mucker - We love mountain biking Taupo and its surrounding areas.
TRAIL DESCRIPTION:
Huka Falls & Aratiatia Dam, Taupo.
This is our local go to ride, a variation on the Huka Trails Rotary Ride. Park near the Lake Taupo lookout and head north. You'll see a gravel track leading to the Redwoods Trail sign we featured at the beginning.
The trail runs parallel to the highway before dropping down through stunning Redwoods toward the famous Huka Falls. Cross the river, then there's a short uphill through native bush to another great view of the falls. From here the mountain bike trail follows the Waikato River to the Aratiatia Dam.
From October to March the Aratiatia flood gates open every 2 hours between 10am and 4pm. This is a pretty impressive sight and well worth timing your ride for. To return, go back the way you came - all these trails are two way so watch out for fellow riders.
Allow 2-3 hours to complete. The track is 22 km's return, Grade 3, and suitable for intermediate riders. From Mucker & Mucker, enjoy. Yeah buddy!
