Mt Lees Reserve - Sanson
- Location
Ngaio Road, Sanson
Situated on a quiet rural road, only 6km from SH1, between Sanson & Bulls and within easy driving distance of Palmerston North & Feilding.
- Description
The Reserve, one for all seasons with its many changing faces, is open to the public seven days a week from 9am to 5pm.
As well as the bush walk & gardens there are a number of facilities available in the Reserve including: picnic areas, children's play area, toilets, tennis court, summerhouse, orienteering, morning & afternoon teas and accommodation & function areas in the homestead.
The sheltered bush walk has one main trail that loops the bush gully with a few side trails. The loop is approximately 1.8km long, generally flat apart from the short climb out of the bush gully. A gentle stroll around the reserve should take 20-25 minutes or allow an hour for a full exploration. Short cuts can be made at various parts of the main track. The track is an all weather gravel track suitable for baby buggies. There are a number of places to rest or picnic along the track which include seats.
The Nature Trail starts on the drive in front of the house. To find the Nature Trial Points, follow the bushwalk and look for numbered wooden posts set into the ground. The trail points are in order from 1 to 20. A number of the trees featured in the nature trail are labelled. Information booklets are available at the start to the track.
