Great walk and really easy even for beginners. Stunning views of the Pororari River and lush ferns further ahead on the track. Keep an eye on mountain bikers though - they can appear out of thin air in high speed.
A really beautiful and relatively easy 2/5 track along the river. Beautiful forests and high cliffs towering above. The walk-only is an out-back walk but you can join the bike track for a loop walk. Well signposted.nA lot of the walk is in the shadows so can be chilly - good shoes and a warm jacket!
There's an 8km out and back route or a 17km track, depending on what you want to see and how far you want to go. The 8k route is to the swing bridge, which is what I did. The scenery is beautiful and changing the entire way. Towering rock walls line both sides of the river for a good portion of the track. You can cross the swing bridge and return on the opposite side if you'd like a change of scenes. The south side has a short section that actually drops via staircase down into the rocks. One end is pretty narrow. It gets dark at the bottom, but doesn't last long. You can see light from both ends, but it's a good idea to hold the rail regardless. Definitely recommend this place. An added bonus is the cell service you get from the trailhead parking lot. It's the best you'll get anywhere in this area.
What a spectacular walk! Just incredible and well worth stopping to explore. Walk to the swing bridge! It is about 3.3km from the start but worth going to. Muddy, so wear sturdy shoes.
Nice wide tracknStick to the bike pathnThe “old walking track” very steep and muddy
