THE TRAILS ARE A WONDERFUL THING

 

The 105km long cycle and walkway along the banks of the Waikato River showcases the dramatic and beautiful natural environment of the Waikato region. Native bush, historic landmarks, geological formations and wetlands make up this great asset which we’re proud to have supported as Major Sponsor since 2004.


Our staff regularly muck in on riparian planting days, providing space for equipment storage at sites along the trail. The Waikato River Trails are free and available for public use every day.
