Park at the end of Moanataiari Creek Road and then make your way up the access road behind the gate to the flat area. You will see this includes a picnic area, pump track, jump track, kids (100 acre wood) loop and also the start of the trail network.

There are 12 trails in the network, ranging from Easy to Black Diamond. The longest is 600 metres, unless you count the Rail Tail, which is 34 kms if you ride from here all the way to Paeroa.

Once you’ve done with riding, head over to Kuranui Bay Reserve for a BBQ or to catch the sunset.
