Description

One of the great rides in Southland. Climb through lush native bush and then wend your way around the side of one of Southland’s most iconic landscapes. You’ll encounter part of the old Hokonui water race, before the easy descent into Dolamore Park. This two-way trail offers a fun flowing cross-country ride for everyone. Optional features on the side of the trail reward those looking to switch up their ride.
