Starting in Arrowtown, the Coronet Loop can be ridden in both directions but preference is clockwise. Start by climbing the Bush Creek Trail and traversing the Coronet Face Water Race towards Skippers Saddle. Thrill seekers should take a diversion down Hot Rod and climb back up Dan O'Connell track before heading up over Tradesmans and into Pack Track and Sack (grade 4). This section can be bypassed on the original Pack Track or Skippers Road. Climb out of Long Gully into Greengate and Deep Creeks on sections of historic pack track, before descending Eight Mile Creek on an old water race back to the Macetown Road. Follow the signs along the old benched miners trail to keep your feet dry, and finish on the Arrow Gorge Trail or via the Macetown Road if you don't mind getting wet. Total loop is approx 50km of epic backcountry terrain.

Ridden February 2026. There has been some work on the track and the descending is designed for a clockwise direction with some fun and fast sections. Plenty water along the way - we drank from unfiltered springs- but still be prepared. We ignored the arrow gorge track and rode last 3km down macetown “road”. It’s essentially riding down a flowing river! It was warm so even though we got completely soaked it was fun. Bring lube for after and wash the mica off your bike as it’s very abrasive

Wonderful! Backcountry trail. Saw no one all day. I think clockwise is for sure best.

Did the full loop from Arrowtown in early April. Stunning scenery and an epic day out. A couple of things to consider tho - allow a true full day to enjoy it and take plenty of fuel. There’s lots of climbing and some exposed sections. Defo take the mtb path options to avoid crossing the Arrow River along Macetown Road, and for the last 2k or so, I highly recommend taking the option of carrying your bike up two sets of stairs and across the NormanSmith Bridge to get back to Arrowtown - as opposed to chancing it and deciding to use Macetown Road/wade down the Arrow River for that last bit. You’ll have a happier ending if you carry your bike up the stairs!
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
