Hill Top Lookout Track
Riverton · Southland · Out & Back
This walk comes from licensed public walk data and is being progressively confirmed against the authorities. Signs on the day always win. The rule-setter’s own wording: “Southland District Council's Dog Control Bylaw 2025 (in force 1 October 2025) shades Mores Scenic Reserve as a dog on lead area on its Schedule 2 Riverton map. Clause 8(a) makes that a leash requirement. Signs at the Richard Street gate can change it”. Evidence: a hand-checked correction against the authority. How we check dog rules.
Good to know
Dogs are allowed here. Keep them on the lead, watch for ground-nesting birds and stock, and read the signs at the gate.
