Craigieburn Forest - Cass-Lagoon Tramp
- Location
Both track entrances are alongside SH 73 between Christchurch and Arthur’s Pass.
The Cass River end of the track starts from the signposted car park at the east end of the Cass road bridge, opposite Cass settlement. This car park is frequently targeted by vandals/thieves. Do not leave valuables in your car.
To reach the western end of the track, turn off SH 73 about 14 km east of Arthur’s Pass village, onto Cora Lynn Road. This road also leads to the Arthur’s Pass Wilderness Lodge and Cora Lynn Station. Enter through the gate signposted ‘Cass – Lagoon Track’; there is a car park here for trampers.
- Description
Craigieburn Forest Park extends from the Waimakariri River to the Wilberforce River – with braided rivers, beech valleys, tussock grasslands, alpine screes and rugged mountain peaks topping 2300 m.
