Flora Carpark Via Barron Flat To Upper Takaka

The trail starts from Flora Car Park. The first section is an easy wide track that narrows as you go. After the first swing bridge it becomes a grade 4. Narrow, steep dropoffs, rooty and slippery when wet. Many blown-out corners require bikes to be carried or walked. After Barron flat it becomes a grade 3, pretty grown over and trees down. The last part is a gravel road under the powerlines. A massive iron gate has to be passed then you are on the 4WD track that leads down to Takaka. It's an 8 km steep descent with lots of loose gravel and small rocks. Take care of oncoming traffic.
