Roxburgh Gorge Trail

You will ride the Roxburgh Gorge Trail from Alexandra to the Roxburgh Dam. This includes a 10km ride from the start of the trail to Doctors Point. At Doctors Point you will catch a boat at 1230hrs (included and booked for you). This boat is a jetboat in the summer, and a covered boat in the Winter, that will carry you and the bikes whilst sharing the local gold rush history. The boat section of the ride normally takes 30-40 minutes to cover the 12km distance where there is no trail currently built. The boat cost ($155) is included in your package. The boat lands at Shingle Creek and then you have 11km of trail to ride before you get to meet our luxury vehicle at the Roxburgh Dam for the return shuttle to Clyde.
