Onepu Mountain Bike Park

Great view of Putauaki / Mt Edgecumbe from the top of the park. The wetlands are very pretty and there are remnants of a medicinal plant collection nearby. There are steps with wood carvings alongside, nearly Lake Tamurenui, leading to a kauri grove . The park is located on land owned by Norske Skog Tasman, and public access is permitted thanks to the generosity of that company.

If you know of any public toilets near the trail start or on the route, please login and then let us know so we can update this section.
