Albany Scenic Reserve

Location
The car park is on the northern side of Lonely Track Rd, near the junction with Gills Rd, north of Albany.
Description

Kauri trees and native orchids are highlights of this short walk through the Albany Scenic Reserve, just north of Auckland.

The track descends into manuka and kanuka scrub and crosses a small stream before climbing and descending again to a large kauri. From here the track climbs steadily through a small stand of kauri trees to the Wright Rd exit. Walk back the way you came or via the road (be careful of traffic). On this walk you will see North Shore’s largest kauri tree 1.8m diameter 600-800 yrs old.
