Update on Kauearanga Valley campgrounds and Pinnacles Walk

The Department of Conservation (DOC) has closed Kauaeranga Valley Road, tracks, campsites and the Pinnacles Hut until 30 March 2018 (Easter Friday).

The valley is closed so DOC can complete the second stage of storm damage repairs which includes the instalment of a new bridge where the Wainora ford was, replacement of the Webb Creek track bridge, river rehabilitation work and further road repairs.

DOC's Kauaeranga Visitor Centre, Kahikatea Model Dam walk, Shag Stream and Kahikatea Camps will remain open during this time.

Crosbie's Hut is also still open and can be accessed from the Karaka or Waiotahi tracks from Thames, as well as the Te Puru and Waiomu tracks.
