The route

Good to know

Nobody we read prohibits dogs here, but no rule-setter publishes wording for this track by name, so the district-wide rule is what applies. Keep the lead handy, read the signs at the gate, and give ground-nesting birds and stock their room.

This track is in Mount Richmond Forest Park, where dogs need a DOC permit. Apply to the Wairau / Renwick DOC office ahead of time; a permit can take up to five days and is not issued on the track.
