Hokitika - Kaniere Tramway (Off-Road Cycle Trail Section) Mountain Bike Trail

This is the recently completed section of the WCWT that once again links Hokitika with Kaniere Township - new bridges and surfacing have brought this key community linkage to life again Originally built in 1866 by the Hokitika and Kanieri Tramway company, the tramway was constructed from the Hokitika wharf to Kanieri (old spelling); a horse drawn tram ran on timber planks laid on sleepers.
