Double Hill Run Road comes off SH77 a couple of km’s South of the Rakaia Gorge bridge and runs up the western fork of the Rakaia River between the river and Mount Hutt skifield.
The main track is wide and well graded and ends at a private property once you cross a small bridge. There are multiple trails and tracks heading off both sides of the main track and these vary in difficulty and terrain with some of them included in the gpx file. There are stunning views of the river and mountain range from many parts of this track.

New Zealand’s South Island rugged wilderness is a perfect playground for on/off road adventure riding. I had a fun ride last weekend – Double Hill Run Road follows the western fork of the Rakaia River near Lake Coleridge
Great ride up Double Hill Run Road last week (27 April 2022). Grading the road was in progress which has improved it, however there are still some sections of moderately challenging large gravel. We continued to Glenfalloch Station homestead where permission was given to continue along a track to Lake Heron station. This track also requires prior permission from Lake Heron station. ($20 pp at each end of track) However I wouldn’t recommend this trip at present as about 20 minutes in from Glenfalloch there are two very large steep dips in the soft scree track which, after already being stuck in the scree on a flat section, we didn’t attempt.
Otherwise would recommend the Double Hill Road ride. Would be spectacular in winter.
