Christchurch-Little River Rail Trail
The Christchurch to Little River Rail Trail, when complete, will extend 45 km from Hornby (a suburb of Christchurch City) to Little River in the Banks Peninsula. This Rail Trail is being built in sections and to date over 30 km have been completed. The completed sections are:
The Rail Trail Trust is working with the Selwyn District Council and Environment Canterbury to complete the sections that will connect Lincoln to Motukarara.
Where to go? There are some suggestions for hiking and biking along the Rail Trail in Overview/Sections on the Rail Trail Info tab.
What will you see? The walkway/cycleway passes through a spectacular landscape with a thousand years of human history. The Rail Trail passes through rural areas and settlements on the Canterbury Plains and skirts past the massive flanks of the ancient volcanoes which make up Banks Peninsula, hugging the shoreline of a vast lagoon, Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere, and its smaller twin, Te Roto o Wairewa/Lake Forsyth. The lakes and associated rivers and wetlands are rich in wildlife and natural vegetation.
How can you help? The Rail Trail is a community project. For more information about how you can help visit the 'Friends' section.
