Arcus Loop Walk
- Location
- Otaki Forks is 19km inland from Otaki township – approx. 11/2 hr drive from Wellington or Palmerston North. The easiest turn-off from State Highway 1 is at Otaki Gorge Road, just south of the State Highway 1 bridge over the Otaki River. The last 5km of the Otaki Gorge Road is unsealed, narrow and windy – please drive carefully.
- Description
- Named after the Arcus family who farmed here from the 1930s, the Arcus Walk begins at the Waiotauru River swing bridge at Boielle Flat. Follow signs and posts across river terraces, streams and gullies. The walk provides a view to the campground before returning via the first section of Field Track.
