Te Ara Ōtākaro Avon River Trail is a transitional shared-use trail along the Avon/Ōtākaro River.  It starts at the Cambridge Village Green, corner of Barbadoes Street and Cambridge Terrace, and finishes 11km away at Pages Road (about 2.5 hours one way).  This is the bonus cache for the Adventure lab that follows the first 1.7km (about 20 to 30 minutes one way).

This shared-use trail is a transitional walking and biking track along the Avon/Ōtākaro River. While the future of the area is still being decided, take the opportunity to explore parts of the Red Zone on this trail.

The trail is not a dedicated recreation track. It's a mix of shingle, sealed and closed roads unrepaired since the earthquakes, which have been used to create a trail from the city centre out to New Brighton.

Although most of the trail is on closed roads, there is one small section between Gloucester and Torlesse Streets that is on an open road.

There are also a number of occasions that require pedestrians and cyclists to crossroads. Where possible, recommended crossings are marked but care should be taken at all times.

Along the route, the Avon Ōtākaro Network has installed storyboards to tell the tale of how the environment and the community have been affected by the earthquakes.
