The Clyde Dam is easily viewed from the town. If you fancy a walk, follow the public footpath beside the road to the first lookout which is about 1km from town. This lookout looks over the dam and power station.  A further 500m walk up the hill you will find the second lookout which views Lake Dunstan, the powerhouse, the Clutha River and Clyde township.

If you have the time, the Anniversary River Track that begins in Clyde and finishes in Alexandra is a great way to spend some time by bike or foot.  It is sign posted 300 meters along Earnscleugh Road. Maps are available from the Alexandra information centre. The Clutha River never fails to impress. The track hugs the banks of the Clutha River most of the way to Clyde. There are many good picnic areas shaded by wilding willow trees.

This journey is on a pontoon craft, which is capable of seating 17 adults comfortably. This cruise explores the Roxburgh Gorge on the Clutha River that will take you back to the European and Chinese gold rush that happened on the banks of the Clutha River. Remains of miners cabins are hidden by Matagouri, Thyme, and spectacular schist rock. These tours give you a historic experience, which takes 75 minutes covering 50 km of the stunning Central Otago scenery. Customers can look forward to a commentary of the history of the area, with some of the focus being on places of interest such as the miner’s huts, rock shelters and of course the legendary Doctors Point Gold Mine.
