Mountain Bike Trails in Waitekohekohe Recreational Park

Waitekohekohe Recreational Park is located in the Kaimai-Mamaku Forest Park south of Katikati in Bay of Plenty, featuring five new grade 2-4 mountain bike trails alongside horse riding and walking tracks. The trails, built by experienced designer Rob Metz, offer pure flowing descents from beginner-friendly grade 1 loops through small pines to advanced downhill tracks, with the park providing a high-quality riding experience in an 87-hectare reserve.
