The five Waikato River Trails
The Waikato River Trails are divided into five sections across a range of terrain from gently undulating trails to some that are steeper, rugged and more adventurous. The trails are are graded from 3 (Intermediate) to 4 (Advanced) and while they are mostly wide and smooth, some are trickier single-track trails (particularly on the Waipapa section) – a mountain bike is recommended.
Our hardworking Maintenance team has been out on the Karapiro section of the Waikato River Trails, working to repair areas where the trail surface has been scoured out by the weather. This is an ongoing project along this section, ensuring the trail remains in top condition for riders and walkers to enjoy.
