The route
Good to know
Dogs are allowed here. Watch for ground-nesting birds and stock, and read the signs at the gate.
Check the water before the dog swims. Toxic algae blooms in NZ rivers and lakes can kill a dog within hours. Scan the LAWA water quality map in warm months and keep dogs away from dark slime on rocks.
