UPDATE: TRAIL CLOSURE
July 12: Due to forecast heavy rain the trail section between Milltown and Kawhaka Creek has been closed. This section becomes impassable during and after heavy rain, so it is closed for the safety of riders, and will remain closed until further notice. We will evaluate the conditions and provide an update regularly. Please respect this closure. Please also check our Facebook page for updates.
