Four Lakes Loop - Moke Lake Back Country

Discover the Four Lakes Loop - Moke Lake back country, a favourite half‑day cross county ride that combines excellent singletrack, backcountry and four picture‑perfect lakes. Optional technical lines and bike‑park features keep things interesting for advanced riders. After a short scenic drive to Wilson Bay, begin on the 7 Mile Forest trails of tree‑lined singletrack on flowy or technical lines, then drop to the Wakatipu lakeshore before tackling a punchy grade‑3 climb. Cross open farm track past Lake Kirkpatrick and climb toward a stunning vantage of Moke Lake, one of New Zealand’s most beautiful small lakes. The route continues on winding singletrack to the secluded Lake Dispute, a true backcountry hideaway, then delivers continuous scenic riding as you loop home. Finish on the beloved Phoenix descent—a fast, flowing run through the trees that brings you back to the bay.
