Old Ghost Road Cycleway keypoints:
80km track links Lyle to Seddonville and is administered by a trust.
Trail and huts are now open, but funding constraints resulted in the central 25km portion (Ghost Lake to Goat Creek) being only constructed to tramping route standard
There has been severe loss of wilderness and landscape values in the revised route across the Lyle Range
There have been lapses in quality of care for the environment (track width, down-slope debris, tree felling)
The cycleway does make more accessible some beautiful and historic NZ backcountry
The 4 new huts are of a high standard
The Trust requires further funding to complete the trail
