Quick Start Track 1: Hokianga to Opua/Russell

 

 

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The overall opportunity is to develop a 90-kilometre trail from the Hokianga Harbour on the West coast through to Opua/Russell on the East coast. The trail would pass through 11 towns and settlements. 

 

The first section to be completed (refer to the highlighted section of above map or PDF) would be 12 kilometres of an old rail corridor between Kaikohe and Okaihau.  The trail is steeped in historical significance of early New Zealand history dating from before the New Zealand land wars, and in parts follows ancient Maori trails from West to East.
