Karaka Track Hiking Trail

This track has been upgraded by the Thames MTB club from a rough hiking track to a dual use trail and is now rideable from the bottom. You can ride approximately 4.5 kms up to the stunning Red cliffs where amazing views can be had looking up into the top of the Kauaeranga valley. From the Red cliffs, the trail has not had any work done on it so is not ridable. When riding from the bottom, once you get past the 2nd bridge that runs over the Karaka stream, it gets very step with a few sections requiring pushing (unless on an e-bike).
