Arrowtown’s trails are famous – fifteen listed walks past mountains, rivers, forests, and lakes. Easy one hour strolls, and treks of several days in Lord of the Rings country. The Arrowtown trail network  is linked to the Mahu Whenua trails, created as part of the donation of land to the Queen Elizabeth II Trust.
