Numerous walks along well maintained paths and tracks with a wide variety of environments and scenery are one of the attractions of our district.
They are a great way to explore the area's unique and natural beauty.
We work with other organisations, such as the Department of Conservation (DoC), to provide and look after the tracks to suit the capabilities of people of all ages and various fitness levels.
Track grades
- 1 – a well made path generally used by urban residents
- 2 – a short walk generally on well made paths used by short stop travellers
- 3 – a walking track usually well made including steps and suitable for day visitors.
In most cases there are car parks and signage indicating the routes at the beginning of the tracks and toilet facilities are available at many of them.
Printable maps of individual tracks are included on each of the information pages on this website.
