Taylor River Trail
Blenheim · Marlborough · Out & Back
The dog rule shown here is resolved against the council zone this walk sits in. Route details come from licensed public walk data. Marlborough District Council’s own wording: “Split by bank and segment (Marlborough District Council schedules): off-leash along the true right, town centre, bank from the Taylor Dam to the Henry Street Bridge and from the Sinclair Street rail bridge to Stuart Street, and along the true left bank from Meadow Bank Road to the Alfred Street Bridge. The central-town segments between those points are on-leash”. Evidence: the council’s own mapped rule zone. How we check dog rules.
