    • One Direction for Gravel Biking

An excellent little trail that has a mix of 4x4 gravel track, native forest, stream crossings, pine forest. A very pleasant ride and a don't miss if you stay at the campsite.
The 1st section of this track is dual direction along the gravel track but once it gets in to the bush, it becomes single direction

Access Info

Start at the forest gate just beyond the Hotoritori campsite and follow the MTB signs in an anticlockwise direction.
