Tukituki Trail - Rotary River Pathway Trust

The Rotary River Pathway Trust has developed a series of recreational walkway and cycle trails in Central Hawkes Bay centered on the Tuki Tuki river. We have also constructed a mountain bike park and erected a swing bridge across the river to link the trails between Waipawa and Waipukurau.

This has proved immensely popular with the locals and visitors alike – on good days there are scores of people out exercising – enjoying the sun and fresh air.

The project is ongoing; we have plans to extend the trails and there is normal maintenance – this will require funds. While we have a dedicated group of volunteers there is always a need to fund raise.

Our immediate projects include:

• The Lindsay Bush trail – work here will open walking and cycling access to the native bush reserve and water race tunnel.

• Maintenance to existing facilities – add parking areas at key sites, establish picnic areas

• Build additional mountain bike trails in the Gum Tree Mountain Bike Park – improve parking and signage there

• Enhance existing single mountain bike and walking trails in the river berms – native plantings, culverts, mini bridges, jumps, weed control.

All donations and support will be welcomed and appreciated by the trust and our community.
