Trail town: OPHIR

There’s something special about Ophir...

One of the Otago Central Rail Trail’s most iconic historic settlements, Ophir is where time slows down. Originally a bustling gold mining town in the 1860s, today it’s a peaceful stop filled with heritage buildings, big Central Otago skies, and warm country hospitality.

Take time to wander the historic streets, cross the stunning Daniel O'Connell Bridge, and enjoy a well-earned meal or refreshment at Pitches Store or Blacks Hotel (Ophir).

It’s places like this that make the Otago Central Rail Trail more than just a bike ride — it’s a journey through history, landscape, and local stories.

🚴‍♀️ Autumn and winter riding brings crisp mornings, golden light, and fewer crowds — the perfect time to explore.
