Public Art Trail

This easy loop track follows the Whirinaki River through superb podocarp forest with many excellent vantage points of the river.

Walk over rolling farmland which leads up to native bush and a trig station. There you can enjoy superb views over the Rangitāiki Plains.

Nestled in the heart of an enthralling kahikatea forest, the White Pine Bush Road loop is perfect for families.

Learn of the district's history and enjoy brilliant views of Ohakana Island, Port Ōhope and the East Cape.

A great spot for safe paddling, whether that's aboard plastic sit-ons, sea kayaks, multisport racers or tractor tyres.

Perfect for a family ride or walk on a flat, paved shared-use path that follows the riverbank.

The sparkling blue waters of Lake Matahina offers excellent family kayaking and is an ideal spot for training.

If you're keen for a simple family spin, go to Maraetotara in Ōhope. Ride up the unsealed Maraetotara Road into the bush-edged Burma Rd to the main Ōhope-Whakatāne highway.
