Lady Isaac Loop

Wetlands restoration efforts by both Council and the Isaac Conservation and Wildlife Trust and great views across the Waimakariri River. The Isaac Farm Walk passes through sites of ecological significance and is home to a rare native musk.

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.

Safe, sign posted, off road car park specifically for walkers (and runners!) on Clearwater Avenue, near the golf course.

Easy.

Most potential dead-end side trails become very obvious within a minute or less so no major distance added if you take a wrong turn.

Generally good.

Best to carry your own. There are public toilets at the 15.5k mark (White's Crossing) but potability of the water is unknown.

Some parts of the trail look prone to surface water ponding. Avoid the trail during extreme weather events as the Templar's Island Trail is river side of the flood banks and therefore exposed to flood risk if the river gets high.

When passing through The Groynes, take care if swans are near the trail. At times of the year they can be "rather protective" of their mates and young.
