We have put a detour on the top section of this track due to a large slip.
The track is still open, but please use the road while we work to undertake repairs. Check the signs showing the detour route.
We have closed large sections of the Hūnua Ranges to prevent the spread of kauri dieback.
When you visit our parks, you need to clean your footwear and equipment to avoid transferring disease from one area to another.
Find open and closed tracks and read about protecting our kauri.
Main park gates are open from 6am to 9pm during daylight savings hours and 6am to 7pm during non-daylight saving hours.
