Best Mountain Bike Trails in Okura Bush Scenic Reserve

Located north of Auckland between Takapuna and Whangaparāoa, Okura Bush Scenic Reserve protects regenerating kauri and podocarp forests along the Okura River estuary. The reserve features the Ōkura Bush Walkway (currently with access restrictions due to kauri dieback disease) and offers walking and cycling opportunities through coastal forest and past historic sites like Dacre Cottage. Note: Track access status may vary—check with DOC before visiting.
