Walks and trails

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. 

In most cases, there are car parks and signage indicating the routes at the beginning of the tracks. Toilet facilities are available at many of them.
