Baikie Hut Track

Walk along a 4WD track which runs parallel to Twizel River. Baikie Hut, resting on grassy flats beside the river, makes a great picnic or overnight venue.

A worthwhile tramping trip is to continue hiking up the tarns in Duncan Valley.

It's a short mountain bike ride into Baikie Hut, then a fun coast downhill back out again. This is a good trip for families.

This is a shared-use track. Follow the mountain bikers code: respect others, respect the rules, respect the track.

A car park for this track is signposted off SH80, about 3.5 km from the junction with SH8 near Pukaki.
