Description
Family friendly downhill trail back to the main entrance on South Karori Road. The trail is wider than the other tracks that return to the main entrance, with sweeping switchbacks, generally smooth surface and of a gentle downward gradient making this suitable for beginners, but can still be fun for those more advanced riders. This is the second half of the 'easy' loop that starts with the Koru uphill track. Lazy Fern starts across the 4WD track at the top of Koru and the track goes through some of the best bush that Makara Peak has to offer. Built by Makara Peak volunteers, WCC contractors and staff during 2006-2008. Had a major overhaul thanks to funding from WCC in 2022.
