Mountain Biking Waikato River Trails: 5 Whakamaru

***   Add a review
#73 of 171 mountain bike trails in North Island
#8,650 in the world

The trail is wide, smooth and flat for much of the way but there are some short steep or rocky pitches as well as some sharp corners. It's very scenic with soaring bluffs over a serene lake with places to swim, and there are forests, farms and a wetland.
