The Tairua River Trail is a scenic walking and cycle route along the banks of the Tairua River in the beautiful eastern Coromandel.
|
Starting at the Waterways in Pauanui, it winds its way 6.4km through mangroves, native forest and rolling farmland to a point downstream from Hikuai. When complete, it will link the communities of Tairua and Pauanui and be a terrific addition to the Coromandel's network of trails.
OUR VISION - CONNECTING TWO COMMUNITIES
With resource consent now granted, we're seeking funding and donations to complete the 15km route between Tairua and Pauanui, via a bridge across the Tairua River and a trail along its northern bank into Tairua. The completed trail will deliver benefits to the region, including: - A safe, scenic, off-road trail to be enjoyed by all. - Benefits of increased "cycle tourism" for local business. - Native tree planting and pest trapping along the route. - Better access to historic and culturally significant sites. - Pedestrian safety improvements south of Tairua town centre. - Health benefits from increased trail use. |
The Tairua River Trail has proven popular for locals and tourists alike particularly during the summer holiday periods. Our trail counter records the number of users on a daily basis which demonstrates the popularity of the existing trail.
