Poulter Valley Track - Park Boundary to Casey Hut Mountain Bike Trail

The track through the Poulter valley is one of only a few approved tracks in a national park where mountain biking ispermitted. The trip offers bikers great scenery, some challenges and two good huts for an overnight stay. You can only ride as far as the Trust/Poulter Hut on the specified track, which is also a tramping track. Please do not go further, or go off the track as this could jeopardize future mountain biking opportunities in national parks. As this track is also used by trampers, you will need to follow the code of conduct for shared-use tracks:• Respect that other users have different, and valid, reasons for being there.• Anticipate other users around corners or in blind spots.• Expect the unexpected; cycle at a speed you can stop from safely, if a hazard arises.• Do not startle other users – greet them when approaching.• Cyclists give way to walkers.• Common sense and courtesy prevail at all times Mt White Road to Arthur’s Pass National Park boundary This section passes through Mt White Station, so please respect stock and farm activities. Follow the 4WD track for 13 km along the true right of the Poulter River, across river terraces and fans to reach the park boundary fence. The ride is a grunt in places. The original 4WD track was washed out a few years ago and the new narrower track can only accommodate quad bikes. Access to the National Park boundary for larger 4WD vehicles is now only possiblealong the riverbed at low flow.
